Long. 17 mm., elytr. 11, hit. 4|. 



The hind femora aie entirely black in one sjiecimen from Loanda, nearly black 

 in two examples from Kuilu, and have a rather large rufous macula underneath in 

 the type s])ecimen from Gaboon. 



Hah. Gaboon (type), Kuilu (A. Moc([uery>, l-^fi^j, and Loanda. 



Similar to A'//. chloroUneatus Qued., but the elytra have a niucli coarser 

 scul])ture, and are nearly as strongly attenuated towards the apex as in III), idtem 

 (Fabr.) (= checiolati Thorns.), and the colour of the femora is different.
