Hah. Bengal {ScJiouteden). 



This species is allied to A. incisus, Stal. Dr. Schouteden remarks 

 that of the latter species I have not given the structural characters 

 and my tigure does not permit of specific determination. I cannot 

 agree with this pronouncement, as that figure was not only accu- 

 rately drawn from the type by our artist, but is also accompanied 

 by three sectional drawings, which show the structural characters 

 better than can be expressed by words. Strange to say, although 

 Schouteden has described the antennoe of his species they are not 

 shown on his figure, nor are any structural details portrayed. 

 Consequently I think my friend has allowed himself in this case 

 to be hypercritical.

" The upper side of the body is of a somewhat pale tint, the 

 underside is for the larger part of a more deep colour with the 

 exception of a large marginal zone on the abdomen ; the femora 

 and the base of the tibiae are either black or piceous, the tarsi and 

 the tibiae (excluding base) flavescent ; pronotum with a transverse 

 impression a little profound, each anterior angle exhibits a long 

 spine, granulose and sharply obhquely directed forward, the 

 lateral angles are likewise continued in front of the usual slope in 

 a granulose spine but longer than the anterior spines and directed 

 transversely or nearly so, between the two spines, anterior and 

 posterior, the lateral margin is nearly straight, entire, the disk a 

 little convex ; scutellum at base with three small callous white 

 spots ; lobes of the head equally long." {Schouteden.)

From the figure this species appears to be principally dis- 

 tino-uished by the length of the lateral spines. Dr. Schouteden 

 has not given their dimensions, or rather their expanse,
