Closely allied to A. castaneipes, but, besides the colour of the legs, differs in 

 much smaller and more numerous elytral foveolse; in the size and number of the 

 foveoles it comes between A. castaneijpes and A. nigripes.

Chaudoir simply recorded this species in his revision of the genus, and had one female 

 example only, received from M. Salle. The Salle collection contains two females ; and 

 the description of Chevrolat was apparently made from a single example of the same 

 sex. The species at present is therefore only very imperfectly known, and Chevrolat's 

 description and specific name do not help in its identification. The sculpture of the 

 lytra, in fact, does not consist of oblong punctures, but is of the same nature as that 











described by Chaudoir as characterizing his A. resplendens, viz. rows of punctures 



impressed in striee, and varied by a series of larger punctures in the second and fourth 

 striae. These large punctures are the usual large setiferous punctures of the elytra of 

 most genera of Carabidze ; but they are here situated each in a somewhat oblong fovea 

 made by their confluence with one of the ordinary striee-punctures, and are variable in 

 number, and are sometimes inconspicuous in the fourth stria. 



The secondary sexual characters are the same as in the species of the A. infuscata 

 group, viz. :— 6 . A tuft of hairs on each side of the mesial line in the three middle 

 ventral segments, and the inside of the four posterior tibise towards the apex densely
