HYMENOPTERA. 
XYLOCOPA NASALIS. ?. 
Plate LYII. fig. 6. 
Family. Apid^e, Leach. 
Genus. Xylocopa, Fahricius. Apis p. Linnceus. 
Species. Xylocopa Nasalis : nigra, nitida ; subtus pedibusque hirsutissimis ; alis nigris, 
purpureo (ad basin), viridique (ad apicem) ; nitentibus, facie sub antennas in fcemina 
alba. Long. Corp. 1^ unc. 
Xylocopa : black, shining ; under side of the body and the legs very hairy ; wings 
black, shining with purple at the base, and green towards the tips ; the nose white 
in the female. Length of the body, 1 J inch. 
Syn. Xylocopa violacea, Donovan , Li 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, 
Linnceus, 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. 
Order. DIPTERA, Linnceus.
