thorax subquadrulus , liaud longior quam lalus, later ibus sinualis 

 in medio latissimis, striola basali brevi disimela. Eli/tra nigro- 

 caerulea tenuiter punctato-striata, interslitiis laevibus, apice malico, 

 Iantina sublruncalo; subtus minute disimele punclalus, lineis abdo- 

 minalibus subparallelis, pone medium segmenti prolongates, pectore 

 abdominisque basi nonnumquam rufo-piceis. — Long. 9-9.5 millim.

The head is fairly large , the antennae and palpi entirely 

 black, the second to the fifth joints longer than wide, the sixth 

 and seventh about as long as wide, the rest transverse forming 

 the club in the usual way. The eyes are quite finely facetted, 

 and not so convex as in the allied species (this character will 

 easily separate A. lorianus from C. papuensis , uiolaceipennis) , 

 but is similar in A. insularis. Harold does not mention the 

 distinctions to be found in the eyes, which however afford a 

 very critical character. 



The thorax is as long as wide, distinctly though finely punc- 

 tate, and the head is similarly punctate (this character will 

 distinguish it from the Caenolanguriae which have the thorax 

 quite or nearly glabrous) the front angles are a little depressed, 

 the base is rather narrower than the front, the transverse de- 

 pression not very distinct with a few scattered larger punctures, 

 the striolae short but clearly marked almost as in C. violacei- 

 pennis. The elytra are almost the same as in C. coarctala and 

 C. violaceipennis, they are hardly truncate, but are still straight 

 at the tip, as in many Anadasti. 



In the type of A. insularis (now before me) they are quite 

 black clearly truncate , and the series of linear punctures are 

 extremely fine, whereas in .4. lorianus they are rather distinct, 

 and much more deeply impressed at the sides. The abdominal 

 lines are clear, raised and parallel running more than half 

 across the segment.
