DESCRIPTION.- -Antenna 15-25 segments. Pronotum 

 nearly square. Elytra and wings wanting. Legs 

 somewhat short, but broad. Abdomen usually stout 

 and rather long. Lateral scent-folds sometimes missing, 

 but in other cases pronounced. Callipers of male 

 either straight, in contact, and tapering; or, strongly 

 curved, the right branch often more so than the left; 

 callipers of female straight, in contact, and tapering. 



The genus, even as now restricted, contains nearly 

 fifty species, and is well distributed throughout the 

 world. There are two European representatives, 

 A. annulipes Luc. which is naturalised in some places 

 in Britain, and A. maritima Bon. which has occurred 

 here casually.
