impressed is strongly marked and reaches, almost parallel to the 

 base, to within a short distance of the sides. The elytra are 

 oblong, a little more narrowed behind than in front, where the 

 shoulders are very much rounded off; the marginal border is 

 narrow, and only becomes wider a little before the apex ; the end 

 of the elytra is a little upturned. All the surface is smooth ; 12 

 to 14 piliferous punctures, rather wide but shallow, are visible 

 along the margins. 



In his "Revision" of 1873, comparing it with A. hotvitti, M. 

 Putzeys says : " Very near but differing in its less brilliant 

 colour ; in its greater size, in its shorter protliorax, more rounded 

 on the sides and less narrowed behind ; in its wider elytra with 

 the humeral margin less retlexed, the sides a little more dilatate 

 and the apex moi'e rugose. The abdomen is less smooth ; the 

 anterior tibiae are not sinuate externally. The labrum is emargi- 

 nate in the middle, rounded on the sides."

Of a slightly dull black, intermediate between A. howitti and 

 A. grandis. It differs from the first in its emarginate labrum ; 

 in its head wider behind in the ^ ; in its wider and shorter 

 prothorax less rounded in front, not so narrowed but more rounded 

 behind, where the angles are just as sharp but smaller. The 

 elytra are shorter, more oval, and more rounded on the sides ; the 

 piliferous punctures of the margin are interrupted in the middle ; 

 the anterior tibiae are not the least sinuate externally. It difters 

 from the second in its size, in its prothorax much less rounded 

 on the anterior part of the sides, in its shorter and more oval 

 elytra.'
