ANÏHICUS CUUCIELLUS. 119 



circularly notched at the neck, very convex, rugosely 

 punctured ; eyes reuiform , granulate , swollen , moderately 

 distant ; palpi stout , apical joint long , securiform. Anten- 

 nae stout, reaching to the shoulders, the first and second 

 joint red , the former ovo'id , the latter small , short ; the 

 following joints black, oblongly triangular with projecting 

 inner tooth, the apical joint fusiform, ending in a point. — 

 Prothorax oblong , punctured , convex on the back and 

 more or less heartshaped , rounded in front at the sides 

 and as broad as the head , narrowed and excavated towards 

 the base which is broad and thickened , thicker yet on the 

 sides, the neck narrow, wrell-marked. Scutellum sunken, 

 of an acute triangular shape. — Elytra oblong, delicately 

 reticulated , depressed on the back , broader than the pro- 

 thorax , with the shoulders and small swellings prominent , 

 the sides slightly curved, broadly rounded at the apex; 

 median dorsal spot stretching out in a very acute angle 

 towards the scutellum, leaving the basal and apical border 

 untouched. — Abdomen densely clothed with a fine yellow 

 sericeous pubescence. — Legs rather long and rather thick ; 

 the basal joint of the posterior tarsi very elongated. 



This species offers a certain analogy in its shape to A. 

 longiceps , but the dentate antennae , the more prominent 

 shoulders and small swellings , and finally the coloration 

 remove it considerably from this species. By the structure 

 of the head and prothorax it belongs however to the same 

 section.
