punctured ; apical dorsal segment densely clothed with long fulvous 

 hairs. 



Black ; mandibles at the base, antenna?, and legs ferruginous : 

 an interrupted band on the posterior margin of the pronotum, a 

 spot on the mesonotum, one at the base of the median segment 

 and another at each of the posterior angles, and an interrupted 

 band on the four basal doisal segments, more broadly interrupted 

 on the second than on the other segments, yellow. Wings very 

 pale flavo-hyaline, nervures ferruginous. 



d . Thii'd abscissa of the radius half as long again as the second, 

 which is about equal to the fourth and twice as long as the first ; 

 first recurrent nervure received at or a little beyond the middle 

 of the second cubital cell, second at one-third from the base of the 

 third cubital cell. Tarsal ungues bifid ; hind tibiae serrate on the 

 outer margin. Antennae short and stout, tapering to the apex ; 

 pronotum rounded anteriorly ; first abdominal segment a little 

 longer than the breadth at the apex, the apical dorsal margin of 

 the segment broadly rounded. Finely and closely punctured ; 

 abdomen finely shagreened. 



Black ; mandibles, clypeus, scape beneath, posterior margin of 

 the pronotum broadly, a spot on the mesonotum, one on the 

 scutellum, another on the postscutellum, and the greater part of 

 the tibiae and tai-si yellow. Wings hyaline, nervures fuscous.

As I have noticed before, the antennae in the t5^peof antenoiata 

 are a little shorter and stouter than in the males sent with jkeringi. 

 This difference may possibly prove to be specific, but I do not think 

 it is,

I have not seen this species. Schrottky suggests that it is 

 identical with A. jheringi tSauss., but Burmeister's description 

 gives the legs of the male as red, of the female black, and the five 

 basal abdominal segments in both sexes with lateral yellow spots, 

 whereas in jhei'ingi the four basal segments are banded with yellow 

 and the legs red in the female, and the male has the abdomen 

 without yellow marks and the legs yellow and black. I do not 

 think there is sufficient ground for considering the two to be 

 identical, especially as Schrottky had not seen specimens of 

 jheringi.
