Head with dense punctures; a shallow depression with a small 

 central pit between eyes. Rostrum slightly longer than pro- 

 thorax, moderately curved, somewhat dilated at apex, with a 

 rather feeble medio-basal carina, and some thinner lateral ones 

 extending almost to antennae; basal half with rather coarse 

 punctures, apex with much smaller ones. Antennae inserted 

 about one-fourth from apex of rostrum ; two basal joints of 

 funicle elongate, first slightly longer than second Prothorax 

 about as long as wide, base somewhat wider than apex; with 

 numerous rather large granules, and with a short, obtuse median 

 carina. Elytra much wider than prothorax, parallel-sided to 

 beyond the middle; with rows of large, subquadrate punctures, 

 becoming smaller posteriorly, obtusely granulate ; tuberculate 

 beneath fascicles. Legs long; femora subclavate. Length, 6J- 

 7J mm.

Allied to A. loweri, and with two fasciculate tubercles in the 

 same positions as on that species, but punctures considerably 

 larger, prothorax with a short but distinct median carina, and 

 clothing very different. From A. armipennis it is still more dis- 

 tinct. The white scales are dense below the eyes, form three 

 feeble lines on prothorax, and are dense just about front coxae, 

 clothe the scutellum, and form numerous spots on the elytra and 

 undersurface.

(J. Dark reddish-brown, legs paler. Clothed with whitish 

 scales, in places varying to stramineous. 



Head with rather dense punctures; with a conspicuous inter- 

 ocular fovea. Rostrum slightly longer than prothorax, moder- 

 ately curved, almost parallel-sided, median carina very feeble, 

 but some distinct lateral ones extending almost to antennae; with 

 rather dense, irregular punctures, becoming smaller and more 

 regular about apex. Antennae thin, inserted one-fourth from 

 apex of rostrum; two basal joints of funicle elongate, first slightly 

 longer than second. Protho7^ax about as long as wide, base wider
