 Xylocopa violacea, Donovan, 1st edit. 



Donovan appears to have been in doubt as to the propriety of considering this 

 very common Chinese insect as identical with the south of Europe X. violacea, 

 Linnaeus, with which it has hitherto been confounded. It is, however, much more 

 elongated than that species, and is distinguished by the white nose of the female, 

 whence I have proposed for it the specific name of X. nasalis.
