transverse, broadly truncated behind, very closely and finely punctured, with a smooth central line, the 
occiput not impressed, the eyes large ; antenne testaceous or fusco-testaceous, slender, extending a little 
beyond the base of the prothorax, the penultimate joints transverse ; prothorax a little narrower than the 
head, about as broad as long, widest in front and obliquely narrowing thence to the base, the base feebly 
margined, the surface very closely and finely punctured; elytra convex, comparatively short, slightly 
rounded at the sides, the humeri rounded, the surface densely and finely punctured, the punctuation coarser 
than that of the prothorax ; legs testaceous or flavo-testaceous. 
Length 13 millim. (¢ 9.)

Five examples. This insect is very like A. minusculus, but differs in the head being 
more finely punctured, the thorax broader in front and more obliquely narrowing 
behind, and the elytra less densely punctured. The elytra are entirely testaceous at the 
base, and the median fascia is usually connected near the suture and at the sides with 
the apical one, so as to enclose a spot of the ground-colour (the markings thus resem- 
bling those of A. cervinus). A. bellulus, Lec., apparently has the elytra more densely 
punctured and the thorax less dilated at the sides in front. Examples of a closely 
allied undescribed form from San Domingo (Sallé) are contained in La Ferté’s collection, 
and there labelled A. dominicanus, La Ferté. :

This cosmopolitan insect seems to be gradually becoming introduced into most 
parts of the world. The examples received from Cordova and Jalapa belong to the 
var. quisqguilius, Thoms. ; the others from elsewhere in Mexico to the typical form. The 
American synonymy only is quoted.
