Its very small size separates this species from all previously 

 described except A. minutus, Pasc, the elytra of which are said 

 to be strongly striate-punctate, those of the present insect not 

 being distinctly striate at all. It is a good deal like A, stolidus 

 in general appearance, but differs inter alia in its eyes being 

 much less widely separated from each other, the much finer 

 punctures of its elytral series, and the comparatively strong and 

 sparse puncturation of its abdomen. The last of these characters 

 distinguishes it from nearly all its congeners. The specimens I 

 have seen appear to be females ; probably the male has its front 

 tibise arched and at the apex dilated.
