Anal tergite lightly saddle-shaped in both sexoa, without a marginal 

 groove, with a distinct notch ; inner crest short, single, and corre- 

 sponding nearly to the fused tergite defined by the notch. Copulatory 

 feet : first pair with ridge on second segment close to inner edge ; basal 

 segment of movable digit produced into a strong quadrate tooth ; dista] 

 segment deeply grooved below, with a single apical tooth on its pos- 

 terior surfaces ; second pair as in figure. 

 Length 46 mn.; width 23. 



Locality. — Kodaikanal, Paluai Hills, 7,000 feet (J. R. Henderson).

 Co/ouj' much like that of A. htterosticta ; head, antennae and logs 

 deep green ; nuchal-plate with a large double patch of deep green nearly 

 covering it ; the rest of the terga a deep olive-yellow, variegated with 

 black spots, and bearing on each Bide in their anterior half a large 

 irregular black patch ; these patches, however, almost absent on the 

 anal tergite. 



Head densely punctured below. Nuchal-plate nearly smooth. 2nd 

 tergite with the lamina small, the margin a little thickened opposite 

 the eye, crossed above by a faint arched groove, densely punctulate 

 and pubescent ; the crest of the tergite densely and very finely punc- 

 tulate throughout ; covered with fine pubescence. Anal tergite evenly 

 convex, its margin not sulcate, weakly notched on each side in front ; 

 the inner crest double, its anterior portion longish, twice the length of 

 the posterior portion. Copulatory feet very like those of A, fumosa^ 

 but with the ridge on the second segment of the first pair farther from 

 the inner margin, and the tooth-like projection on the basal segment of 

 the movable digit longer. 

 Length 26 mm. ; width 14.
