Rostrum deeijly concave above, the concavity practically continuous with that 

 of forehead, separated by a transverse groove, the anterior edge of which, seen 

 from behind, appears feebly raised; internal ridges obsolete and basal foveas 

 obliterated ; lateral margins strongly raised in an acutely angular process in the 

 middle, sloping to base, but with a second augidar projection anteriorly. Fore- 

 head deeply concave, with feeble obsolescent grooves radiating from base of ros- 

 trum; supraorbital crests erect, the apex divided into a short, obtuse, foi-ward 

 projecting ramus, and a longer more acute one, projecting upwards. Prothorax 

 broad, almost flat, the median furrow well marked ; median tubercles small, hardly 

 distinct from the grauules, which are present on the rest of the disc, excepting 

 the sublateral areas : lateral tubercles outwardly projecting, rather blunt, hardly 

 triangular, the anterior and median hardly conjoined, the postero-lateral large 

 and followed by a smaller tubercle. Elytra with shallow indefinite punctures 

 separated by low ridges, running on to interstices and giving derm a feebly 

 wrinkled appearance; interstices granulate, the granules larger and more distinct 

 ' on the third interstice, especially posteriorly where they are tubereuliform, and 

 on the fifth interstice whei-e they form a continuous row of small conical granules 

 or tubercles, about 16 in number, running from humeral angle, which projects 

 forwards and is lined by three of these granules, to edge of declivity; sides with 

 interstices granulate. Ventral segments with scattered punctures bearing short 

 decumbent setae, more numerous on apical segment. Legs simple; posterior tarsi 

 rather short.

Hah. — Queensland: Chinchilla. 



Type in Queensland Museum . 



Six specimens (3 d'. 3 2) under examination, from the same locality. 



While closely allied to A. crenaticoUis Macl., the present species differs in 

 the double dentiform projection of the lateral rostral margins, in the differently 

 shaped supraorbital crests, in the more evident prothoracic granules, and in the 

 more evidently granulate elytra! shotilders.

c?. Small; black, densely clothed with obscure, brownish, subsquamose pubes- 

 cence . 



Head concave in front, obsoletely longitudinally and oljliquely rugose, with a 

 pair of obscure granules about middle; separated from rostrum by an indistinct 

 transverse groove, only traceable from behind; supraorbital crests broad at base, 

 projecting laterally as much as forwards, bidentate, the anterior lobe convex 

 forwards; hardly separated from posterior, except liy a small indentation, some- 

 times absent, at apex of lobe, the posterior briefly pointed. Rostrum concave 

 above; external margins raised, strongly convex, sometimes with a separate angu- 

 lation anteriorly; internal ridges moderately distinct, convergent, continued almost 

 to opposite the posterior margin of base of crests; foveae represented by an 

 oblique groove from external margin to transverse sulcus at base of rostrum. 

 Antennae with scape short and strongly inerassate; first and second joints of
