This species appears to be somewhat allied to tin; Brunstatt species 

 which F(irster compares with A. pritnordlak Ileyden from Kott, but which 

 in till' length of the rostrum and somewhat different form of tnc elytra

 and behind that narrowing rapidly as in the group Ventricosum nf Smith, 

 but not so abruptly. Head but little higher than long, tapering with arruate 

 sides, transversely, faintly, and finely striate, the circular eye situated at the 

 base of the beak and removed by more than its own diameter from the front 

 margin of the prothorax; beak longer than the dorsum of the prothorax, 

 nearlv continuing the upper and lower curves of the elongate head, slender, 

 efjual, and just perceptibly arcuate; club of antenntr subcylindrical, about 

 three times as long as broad, bluntly rounded at apex, tapering at base, 

 about twice as stout as the funicle. Thorax nearly half as high again as 

 long, scarcely tapering, the dorsum gently arcuate, the surface delicately 

 and closely punctate. Elytra strongly arcuate, especially on the i)osterior 

 rai)idly descending portion, with very faint punctate striaj. Legs slender 

 anil moderately long, the fore femora not clavate and but little thickened.

 Ueniugeii.
