According to a manuscript note by Mr. E. E. Austen, this species is quite distinct 

 from A. cyanea Guerin. An examination of the British Museum specimens reveals 

 the following differences : — 



A. longicollis -. head dark bluish, submetallic, rarely with any reddish tinge except 

 on the front and face ; antennae almost entirely dark brown ; a small but sharply 

 defined dark brown spot at the tip of the wing. 



A. cyanea : head bright reddish, with two narrow dark lines on the nape ; antennae 

 yellowish except for the tip of the third joint, which is dark brown ; wings with a 

 somewhat larger but much fainter and ill-defined brown patch at the tip. 



The great variation in the size of the scutellar spines is noteworthy.
