10 PLATE CCCXCIX. 



This very uncommon fpecies of Apis is not mentioned by any 

 entomological writer, except Mr. Kirby, whofe " Monographia Apum 

 Angliae" affords a minute .defcription of it. Mr. Kirby defcribed it 

 from a fpecimen in the cabinet of the late Mr. Drury, and affigned 

 it the name of Druriella, in compliment to that zealous collector 

 and writer ; and we are perfectly difpofed, for the fame reafon, to 

 adopt it. It is almoft needlefs to add, that being in poffeflion of the 

 Engiim entomological cabinet of the late Mr. Drury, our figures are 

 delineated from the individual infect Mr. Kirby defcribed. 



The fmallefi infect at fig. I. I. reprefents Apis Druriella in its 

 natural fize, that above exhibits its magnified appearance.
