Opaque, the head and tborax having verv obsolete, shallrtM', 

 stellate punctuation: the tborax is trausveise wiÜx the IV« ml 

 angles prodiiced in the plane of its disk into a long acute s])inr. 

 not round and vertical as in .1. spinicollis. but llatteued horizou- 

 taliy as in A. armalvs Gorh.. Init longei-. The iiasal sulci are 

 Short and linear, united by ;i finc subiuurgina] liiie: the basal 

 margin itself is thickened. The elytra are obsoletely punctate. 

 the punctures form irregulär series near the suture; the Shoulders 

 are finely carinate, the carina having near the base of the post- 

 humeral spiue a small red ])imj)le, the spines are both long and 

 acute. There is a blood-red tubercide near the base and another 

 about one quarter from the apex, this latter arising from au 

 obscure red spot. The basal side of (he second spine is carinate 

 in the middle and that ])ortion is reddish. The two middle 

 spines when viewed from behind are seen to divaricate, so as 

 almost (but not quite) to form a right angle. The apices of 

 the elytra are armed with a long acute spine, placed at a little 

 distance from the sutural angle (as in I. spinicollis}. — This 

 species is allied to .1. armatus Gorh. I>\ the structure of the. 

 front angles of the thorax, more than it is to A. spinicoliis. 

 It is larger than that species, There are however i\\v speciniens 

 ouly, in" which no indication of sex is to be seen.
