simple as in the female ; occasionally the antennae have a pale 

 ring. The posterior margin of the last dorsal segment of the 

 male varies from almost smooth to rugose.

Of medium size. Shining black, passing from deep chestnut^ 

 through reddish black to deep black. Antenna? dark brown, 

 basal and apical segments reddish. Thoracic plates with a well 

 marked median line. Legs varying from light red to reddish 

 black. Abdomen broad, from red to reddish black, shining, with 

 exceedingly fine punctulations ; sides of apical segments convex, 

 very finely striated in the c?, smooth in the $. Last dorsal 

 segment in the cJ rectangular, broader than long, with a distinct 

 median impression and a more or less indistinct tumid elevation 

 on each side, over the insertion of the forceps a distinct oblique 

 compressed crest on each side ; in the 5 narrowed and simple. 

 Forceps with branches in the c5' remote and trigonal at the base, 

 the upper ridge becoming obsolete in the basal third; rather 

 depressed, tapering and bowed inwards, the apical third strongly 

 so ; the right branch is curved more strongly than the left and 

 lies aboAe it, but the asymmetry is not nearly so marked as in the 

 last species. In the $ the forceps are subcoutiguous, straight, 

 tapering ; the inner margin is finely crenulate in both sexes.

This species somewhat resembles A. maritima, but the forceps 

 are more regular and less abruptly curved, the median line of the 

 thorax is distinct, and the last dorsal segment has tumid elevations 

 and folds that are absent in that species. 



The specimen from Maskeliya, sent by Mr. Green after the 

 publication of the original description, is somewhat smaller 

 than the type, and much lighter and redder in colour. It is 

 found under stones and logs.
