Head : labruni emarginate, punctate, truncate with rounded 

 angles, clothed at apex with reddish hairs and separated iroin 

 the epistoma by membrane; mandibles grooved 

 and punctured above. Epistoma concave, trun- 

 cate with rounded but scarcely reflexed angles; 

 separated from the front by sinuate impression, 

 and with the front closely and finely punctate; 

 antennal orbits widened, parabolically rounded, 

 eyes very narrow. Third joint of antennae less 

 than fourth and fifth combined, joints 4-7 obconic, 

 8-10 round, apical joint oval. Prothorax trans- 

 verse, less convex, but smoother than A. j)iinGti- 

 pennis, very minutely punctured, punctures more 

 evident towards sides, width not quite twice the length (4-5 x 

 7-5 mm.), the greatest width behind the middle; front angles 

 prominent and acute, sides moderately rounded and slightly 

 sinuate near posterior angles, these widely acute and a little 

 outwardly directed; base truncate. Lateral margins thick, 

 rounded and upturned, terminated behind at the posterior

 widened towards apex, with eight indistinct costiform impressions, 

 on each elytron including the suture which is slightly raised. Of 

 these the third, fifth, and seventh are more prominent; between 

 these are indistinct, irregularly placed, shallow foveate punctures, 

 with occasional faint indications of reticulation, especially towards 

 sides and apex. Lateral row of punctures large and close, the 

 sides bordered throughout by a narrow upturned margin. Sub- 

 mentum and sternum strongly and not distantly punctured, sub- 

 mental tooth wide and prominent, presternum bordered at apex 

 by fringe of reddish hairs; episternal process wide, carinated at 

 the sides and truncate at the apex. Abdomen longitudinally
