bul little prominent; mouth somewliat testaceous; apical 

 joint of the palpi long, strongly securiform. Antennae 

 very elongated, reaching beyond the shoulders, the joints 

 long, slender, infuscate with the exception of the basal 

 ones , the apical one a little thicker and hardly longer than 

 the preceding. — Prothorax oblong , narrower than the 

 head , rounded in front but not dilated at the sides , pro- 

 vided with a rather distinct neck , the back but little con- 

 vex , even , the sides hardly sinuated , the base edged , with 

 slightly protruding angles. Scutellem small, sunken. — 

 Elytra obovate , long , a little convex , dilated in a curved 

 line at the sides , having their greatest width behind the 

 middle , rounded at the end , base subtruncated , narrow , 

 the angles as well as the small swellings distinct, the su- 

 ture margined, sunken behind the scutellum; they are 

 provided with two dark red spots , one at about one third , 

 the other at about two thirds of their length , oblique in 

 opposite direction. — Legs elongated, slender, testaceous 

 red , tibiae slightly infuscate. 



Belongs to the group of A. longicollis ; it may be distin- 

 guished from that species at first sight by its coarse and 

 distant punctuation, by the dark red spots of the elytra, etc.
