350 Mr. Kırzy’s Descriptions of 
dium rostro insidentes: clava albido-villosä. Oculi ad- 
modum magni, subprominuli. 
Truncus teretiusculus, medio paulö latior, confluenter 
punctatus, lineolà obsoletiori ante scutellum impressus. 
Coleoptra ex globoso obovata, sulcata: sulcis interstitiis 
ipsis latioribus, concinne et impressé punctatis. 
This species may be placed after A. ebeninum (Linn. Trans. ix. 
55. 34.) to which it is allied. It differs from it not only in size, 
being very much smaller, but the rostram also is shorter and 
thicker, the trunk is of a different shape, rough with confluent 
points, and exhibiting a very faint trace of an impressed line or 
point at the scutellum. From A. brevirostre, (Linn. Trans. ix. 68. 
51.) which it also somewhat resembles, it is sufficiently and indeed 
strikingly distinguished by the unusual width of the furrows of 
the elytra, and their very narrow ridge-like interstices. Mr. 
Sheppard informs me that it runs uncommonly fast for an insect 
of this genus. Mr. George Sowerby has also taken it, who gave 
me my specimens.
