 obtuse, jjosterior marginal seta at basal third; elytra oval, striate on disc, lateral 

 striae obsolete, two inner interstices convex near base, third impunctate. Blark. 



Head narrow (0.8 mm. across eyes); vertex convex; front depressed, bi- 

 impressed; impressions extending on to clypeus; clypeus declivous to anterior 

 margin; lateral seta very near outer angle, outside (not in) anterior extremity of 

 frontal impression. Prothorax as long as broad (1.2 X 1.2 mm.), laevigate; 

 anterior angles wide, hardly advanced; sides evenly and lightly arcuate; base 

 truncate, angles rounded off; border narrow, extending round basal angles; mar- 

 ginal channel narrow; median strongly impressed. Elytra oval (2.6 X 1.8 

 n»m.), lightly convex; humeral angles rounded: apical curve subsinuate on each

ifab.— Lottah (Simson No. 3120). 



A single specimen was in the Simson collection; it differs from A. simsoni SI.. 

 by smaller size, less convex form, lateral setae of clypeus not in frontal impres- 

 sions, &c.

eyes distant from buccal fissure beneath, c?. — If with four anterior 

 tarsi squamosa beneath, then four joints clothed with dense tissue 

 beneath. )
