they have along the outer margin and under the humeral callus 

 an elongate, raised, smooth ai'ea, more conspicuous than in the 

 other South African species ; the three first intervals of the ely^ra^ 

 are sub-tectiform, and more or less distinctly plicate transversely 

 owing to the punctures in the striae being transverse, the punctures 

 on the other striae are deep and regular, in the third intervals the 

 pluri-seriate punctures reach only to about one-sixth of the length, 

 and the scutellum is deeply and closely punctured ; pygidium 

 completely covered with equi-distant, closely set, deep punctures ; 

 anterior tibi^e bi-dentate outwardly ; outer claws of the anterior and 

 intermediate tarsi very broad and slightly cleft in the male, less 

 robust and more deeply cleft in the female. 



Length 11-11^ mm. ; width 5|— 6 niai.

^^neous or reddish bronze, with the sides of the prothorax, the 

 pygidium, under side, and femora testaceous. Similar in shape and 

 size to A. ocampoa from which it differs in the very faintly aciculate 

 prothorax, the finer and closer punctures of the scutellum, the deeper 

 punctures of the striae of the elytra the three first intervals of which 

 are narrower and therefore sharper, and the second and third inter- 

 vals deeply pluri-serrate from the base to about one-quarter of the 

 length ; pygidium closely punctured ; pectus very little pubescent ; 

 anterior tibiae bi-dentate outwardly ; inner claw of the anterior and 

 intermediate tarsi slightly cleft in the male, the inner anterior claw 

 being very broad. Female unknown.

Chestnut-brown, with a conspicuous metallic sheen, prothorax 



especially bronze green, under side and femora brick-red, but also 



metallic ; sculpture and shape of the clypeus and head similar to 



those of the preceding species ; prothorax having also the same 



shape, finely and equally punctured in the manner of ^-1. dita, but 



with the punctures rounder and less closely set on the sides ; the
