Long. 13 mm., elytr. 8, lat. 5. 



Disc of the jimtlidrax with only a tracts of a tubercle at each side in front, and 

 with a very faintly raised median line. The jmnctnres of the elytra very large and 

 deep, except at the apex, where they are much fim-r and also sparser ; the inter- 

 stices of the punctures are raised and form here and there distinct munded tubercles; 

 the tubercles of the disc near the suture somewhat stronger and arranged in two 

 rather regular rows : the first tubercle of the inner row placed at the base, the 

 second to fourth in front of the middle, one close behind the otlier, and the last and 

 largest tubercle situated beyond the middle ; a second and rather inconspicuous row 

 placed on the miildle of the disc at the outside of the first consists of three feeble 

 tubercles. All these tubercles only moderately raised and more or less rounded, not 

 pointed or crested.

Similar to A.bafo (Chevr.), but differs from (his sjiecies in the shuvter pro- 

 tlnirax, in the rounded scutellum, and in the elytra luit being impressed at the base 

 and having the tubercles less raised.

Clothed with wood-brown scales, which are arranged in tliree streaks on the 

 vertex, and in one broad median band on the prothorax ; a large patch at each side 

 of the prothorax and two iiatches on each elytron, one situated in the middle, the 

 other in front of the apex, are more or less indistinct and of a brownish black 

 coliinv ; the whole of the upper surface, moreover, parti-coloured with black. 

 Antennae black, with tlie tip of the third and fourth joints and with more than 

 the apical half of the fifth and seventh covered witli a grey pubescence ; third and 

 fourth joints together scarcely as long as all following joints. Prothorax with a 

 feeble impression at each side of the middle of the disc, and witii three extremely
