Its nearest allied species is A. /hicosigiiuta t'hevr., from which it cliiefly diflfers 

 in the jjrothonix having a black spot at each side, and in the elytra being longer and 

 more coarsely j)unctured.

The eyes are devoid of upj)er lobes, but there is a fine line rnnuiug nji from the 

 eye to the vertex. In general appearance the species described below remiud one 

 very much of the genus Xyaste Pasc. from the JIalayan region ; but they cannot be 

 placed in the group •' Sajierdides " of Lacordaire, as the antennal scape is cicatrised 

 and the intermediate tibiae are grooved. Ocularia may provisionally be put in the 

 group '■ Proso])ocerides."
