Allied to A. tcevis (as is also A. australieus, Stal) and agreeing with it in colour 

 (reddish-brown) , but suiallcr and narrower. Apical process of the head less produced 

 and more triangular. The antenniferous tubercles with a distinct forward prolonga- 

 tion on the outer side of the apex. First joint of the antennre pyriform and truncate 

 at the apex, about the same length as the 2nd ; 3rd and 4th joints broken off in my 

 specimens. Side margins of the pronotum less sinuate in front and less rounded 

 behind; hind margin rather straighter; transverse depression of the disc less 

 apparent. The tubercles on each side of the base of the genital segment of the ^ 

 (viewed from above) more than tvrice as long as in A. Icevis. The specimens being 

 carded, I cannot see the under-side in either the <? or ? , but in the latter the 1st 

 genital segment, viewed from above, appear to have a projecting ridge at each corner 

 of the hind margin.
