This insect, together with that which follows and A. siamensis, 

 Nonfr., form a peculiar group distinguished by the bilobed clypeus 

 and, in the male, by a form of aedeagus, the paramera of which 

 end in transverse laminsB. A. bilohata is extremely like A. siam- 

 ensis, of which Dr. Ohaus has kindly sent me for examination a 

 typical male specimen, but it is a little more elongate and less 

 stout. It is doubtful, however, if the absolute discrimination of 

 the two is possible without examination of the genitalia, which 

 are very different, the aedeagus of A. bilohata being longitudinally 

 grooved and the two terminal laminae meeting in a sharp angle 

 behind. In that of A. siainensis both groove and angle are absent 

 and the laminae are larger and of a more irregular shape (see- 

 Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x, 1912, p. 331, fig, 2).

Testaceous, \\ith the hind tibiae and tarsi black, and the 

 remaining tarsi and the clypeus red. 



The body is elongate and a little depressed. The head is small 

 and strongly punctured, the clypeal margin strongly elevated and 

 bilobed in front. The prouotum and scutellum are very minutely 

 punctured, the former a little more strongly at the sides ; the 

 lateral margins are rounded, the front angles nearly right angles 

 and the hind angles very obtuse. The elytra are very finely 

 punctured, most of the punctures forming longitudinal rows, but 

 with a wide irregularly punctured subsutural space. The pygidium 

 is moderately punctured, and the metasternum finely rugose and 

 clothed rather thinly with yellowish hairs. The front tibia is 

 tridentate, the larger front claw cleft, and the middle femur bears 

 a thick fringe of stiff hairs just before the posterior edge. 



c? . The inner front claw is strongly dilated. The clypeus is a 

 little excavated on each side and not densely punctured. 



$ . The clypeus is densely punctured and the apical tooth of 

 the front tibia long and blunt. 



Length, 17-18 mm. ; breadth, 9 mm.
