covered with griseous pubescence, that on the tarsi being pale 
fulvous; the posterior femora are much dilated; the wings fusco 
-hyaline, with a darker cloud beyond the inclosed cells; it is 
9 lines long (19 mm).

Von Xylocopa cirtana liegt mir ein 3 von Constantine, 
20. April und 1 3 von Algeria durch das Mus. Budapest vor. 
Es ist möglich, dass diese Art nur eine extreme Form der 
cantabrica Lep. ist. —
