Several specimens, representing cither the upper or the under surl'arc ui' 

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

 apju-araiicc. The head is nearly as broad as the thorax and well rounded ; 

 the eyes an- almiit circular, 0.1 1"" in diameter; the mandibles an- sti>ut, 

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

 laliiiini is narrow. 'I'hc pmthorax is about twice as broad as lung. snio..th, 

 tin- Front border slightly ronrave above, rather strongly concave belu\\. tin- 

 sides gently and regularly convex, the anterior angles rectangular, tin- :

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

 ul(e ; the middle coxa} are about equidistant from the others. <>r perhaps
