Tenasserim : Mt. Mulaiyit, 3300-6300 ft., in April (Brit. Mus.,. 

 coll. Burr). 



Type in the British Museum. 



This handsome species is quite distinct from the E. African 

 A. Iceta, with Mhich de Bormans confused it ; from other Indian 

 species it may be recognized by its large size, red head, clear and 

 long legs, and the form of the forceps.

Bhutan : Pedong (Paris Mus.). 



Type in the Paris Museum. 



The value of the original description is vitiated by the error 

 which was made in mistaking the sex of the type. Attention 

 is now called to this, so that collectors may look out for the male, 

 in order that the species can be ranged in its correct position and 

 its true affinities be determined. The brick-red head recalls 

 A. duhronii, but the banded knees constitute a difference.
