Several specimens, representing either the upper or the under surface of 

 the body, have been obtained. They resemble A. ochraceus Melsh. in general 

 appearance. The head is nearly as broad as the thorax and well rounded ; 

 the eyes are about circular, 0.11"™ in diameter; the mandibles are stout, 

 about twice as long as their breadth at base, tapering but slightly ; the 

 labium is narrow. The prothorax is about twice as broad as long, smooth, 

 the front border slightly concave above, rather strongly concave below, the 

 sides gently and regularly convex, the anterior angles rectangular, the pos- 

 terior less prominent, the hind border broadly convex. The prosternum 

 and the other sternal portions of the thorax seem to be delicately gran- 

 ulose ; the middle coxae are about equidistant from the others, or perhaps 

 slightly closer to the hind pair, and the fore coxae are more closely approx- 

 imated to each other than the others, being- separated by less than their 

 own width. The scutellum is small, scarcely longer than broad. The 

 elytra are smooth, equal, tap3ring only near the tip, the extremity of each 

 independently and roundly pointed. 



Length, 3.2™™ ; breadth, 1.65™" ; breadth of head, 1.05™™ ; of prothorax, 

 1.53™™; length of same, 0.75™™; of elytra, 2.1™™; breadth of same, 0.9™™.
