This species is easily recognizable by the slanting T-sbaped char- 

 acter on the crown. 



I have examined the exponents o£ A. atomarins in the collection 

 of the Eev. T. A. Marshall, and compared them with his description in 

 the E. M. M., vol. iii, p. 8-1, 22, and can confidently refer them to 

 the above.

This species resembles O. gazella in general form, but the elytra are rather more 

 expanded below the shoidders. The head in the male is much broader and larger 

 iu proportion ; the canthus of the eye is as in O. carinatus, but much more dilated. 

 The spine behind the eye is as in 0. gazella, but is more acute and directed forwards. 

 The mandibles are short and strong, suddenly bent inwards at tho base, the external 

 outline being somewhat flexuose; there is a strong blunt tooth at the base, a second 

 about the middle, and between this and the apex are two or three smaller blunt teeth ; 

 when the mandibles arc closed (here is an open space left between the basal and the
