longitudinal ridge dividing the anterior part into two depressions ; 

 the prothorax, instead of being sloping laterally from the apex to 

 about one-third of the length, is ampliated from a short distance 

 from the apex, and instead of being sprinkled with sub-rlavescent 

 macules, it has a broad lateral greyish-white band, and a broad patch 

 of the same substance and colour on each side of the base ; the 

 sculpture is identical with that of A. odiosus ; the elytra, which have 

 the same sculpture, are faintly maculated with greyish white in the 

 dorsal part, but the outer margins are filled with closely set macules, 

 and the anterior part of the under side of hind coxae, as well as the 

 sides of the metasternum, are greyish white ; basal hind spur spinose 

 outwardly as in A. odiosus. 



Length 12 mm. ; width 7^ mm.

 Either quite black, opaque, or black with the upper part light 

 testaceous, the prothorax when testaceous lias three longitudinal 

 median black bands and two maculae on each side ; scutellum with 

 a median elongated, sharply pointed black patch ; elytra numerously 

 maculated, almost tessellated with black ; pygidium with two large 

 white patches, frontal part clothed with a light flavescent dense 

 pubescence, clypeus with the median part produced beyond the 

 sharply spinose outer angles, and very sharply dentate on each side 

 of the median arcuate emargination ; palpi and antennae rufescent ; 

 prothorax moderately briefly pubescent, ampliated diagonally from 

 the apex to about one-third of the length, and nearly straight 

 bhence to the base, covered on the upper side with round, 

 equi-distant setigerous punctures; scutellum sparingly punctate 

 illy ; elytra slightly narrower behind than at the base, plainly 

 bi-costate on each side, but with the intervals striate punctate, the 

 raised interspaces have a few, scattered, briefly setigerous punc- 

 tures ; pygidium faintly punctate, glabrous ; sides of abdomen and 

 pectus clothed with a dense, slightly flavescent pubescence ; basal 

 joint of bind tarsi triangularly produced outwardly. 



Length 13^ mm. ; width &$ mm. 



This species is easily recognised from among its South African 

 congeners by the shape of the clypeus, and the two white patches on 

 the pygidium. The black variety seems to be rarer.
