A full description of this insect will be found in the Ent. Mo. 

 Mag., vol. ix, 210 (1873). We have no other species with which it 

 can be confounded.

 before the anterior margin, and another transverse, sliort, straight one, also 

 almost obsolete, in a line with the anterior margin of the eyes. Face yellowish, 

 with about nine finely undulating, transverse, black streaks on each side. Flytra

 Hnes 2. depressus, n. sjy. 



A flatter and broader insect than A. hrevij^ennis, Kirschb., to 

 Avhich it is very cdosely related ; but it differs from that species in 

 having the nerves of the elytra margined with black, also the apical 

 areas of the same colour. 



The only specimens I have seen were taken by the Eev. T. A. 

 Marshall at Braemar ; the date is not given. 



Croion yellowish or testaceous, with an arcuate brown streak before the anterior mar- 

 gin, and a transverse, short, straight one of the same colour in a line with the 

 anterior margins of the eyes. Face black, with a narrow yellow central line, 

 and about seven transverse ones of the same colour on each side, the alternate 

 spaces about equal in width. Flytra dusky-testaceous or pitcliy-brown, longer 

 than the abdomen, with pale nerves ; the areas more or less pitehy-brown.

Somewhat after the form of A. stordUhis or j^Iclei us ; but the cha- 

 racters on the head are different from either of those species. 



This species is fully described in Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. i.v, 211 

 (1873), and although T have only seen the examples in the collections
