Broader and more densely squamose than the Mexican A. squamans, the scales of a 

 pale brownish-ochreous colour intermixed with others of a whitish tint. Also very like 

 the Mexican A.fulvipes, but differing from it in the less elongate, broader scales, the

bivittate prothorax, the more finely punctate-striate elytra, &c. At first sight, A. solarii 

 might be mistaken for a Sibinia or Smicronyx. About a dozen examples of it were 



aptured.

Elliptic, piceous, the antennas (the club excepted), and the legs in great part, ferruginous ; densely clothed 

 with small, oblong scales, which are mostly brownish-white in colour (and not clustered into definite 

 markings) on the upper surface, those on the under surface white, becoming hair-like on the ventral 

 segments. Eostrum much longer than the head and prothorax, feebly curved, moderately stout, densely 

 punctate, the antennse inserted at about the middle. Prothorax strongly transverse, gradually, arcuately 

 narrowing from the base ; densely, finely punctate. Elytra finely punctate-striate, the interstices flat 

 and densely punctulate. Anterior femora with a small, the intermediate pair with a still smaller, tooth, 



the posterior pair unarmed ; anterior tibiae strongly sinuate within ; tarsal claws with a long tooth.

One specimen, not in a very good state of preservation. Very near the Nicaragua! 

 A. solarii, but with a relatively longer rostrum, the rostrum and ventral surface piceous 

 the scales on the upper surface almost uniform in colour, and the posterior femon 

 unarmed. In both species the sculpture of the upper surface is almost entirely hiddei 

 by the vestiture, and the funiculus is 7-jointed.

A very small, narrow, albo-squamose form with a 6-jointed funiculus, near P. 

 The insect is deceptively like a Smicronyx.
