obsoletely punctate-striate, intervals sub-equal, not raised, and with 

 fine punctures interspersed, the three first striae more deeply im- 

 pressed at the apex behind the apical callus ; legs testaceous, 

 trochanters, knees, apical margin of the anterior tibiae, transverse 

 ridges of the tibiae, and of all the tarsi black ; pectus and legs sparsely 

 pilose ; abdomen rufescent, nearly glabrous ; pygidium triangular, 

 rounded at apex, convex, densely punctate, the punctures sub- 

 rugulose laterally. 



Length 12-14 mm. ; width 6-^—7 mm. 



Hab. Boroma, on the Zambesi River. 



Near A. immatura, Boh., is, however, smaller, the punctuation is 

 finer, and the colour of the legs differs."

 sometimes darker ; head densely and finely sub-rugose punctate, 

 obscurely rufescent, almost metallic ; clypeus transverse, broadly 

 rounded with the margins slightly reflexed and infuscate, antennae 

 little infuscate with the club testaceous; prothorax twice as broad 

 as long, narrower in front than behind, anterior margin broadly 

 emarginate, posterior slightly bi-sinuate and with a strongly im- 

 pressed line towards the sinuation and with the carinulate margins 

 slightly infuscate, posterior angles obtuse, rounded, anterior sharp, 

 dorsal part densely and finely punctate, median furrow often evan- 

 escent, a fuscous macule in the middle of the sides, the latter and 

 the neighbourhood of the anterior angles more livid ; scutellum 

 triangular, acuminate and impressed at apex, closely and distinctly 

 punctate ; elytra sub-parallel, twice and a half the length of the 

 prothorax, convex, deeply and roughly punctate striate, the first 

 stria below the scutellum with irregularly dispersed punctures, the 

 first three striae deeper behind, those following disappearing in the 

 apical callosity, intervals with very minute seriate punctures, third, 

 sixth, and ninth more raised ; shoulders prominent, behind them 

 the lateral margin has an oblique fold ; the colour is rufescent, 

 sometimes rufous fuscous, and with a slight metallic sheen ; 

 anterior coxae with a long and dense pubescence, that of the legs 

 more sparse ; knees, apex of the anterior tibiae, and of the anterior 

 and intermediate tarsi infuscate ; posterior tibiae and tarsi black 

 piceous ; anterior tibiae bi-dentate ; abdomen nearly glabrous ; 

 pygidium broadly triangular with the angles rounded, densely and 

 more roughly punctate than the prothorax.
