" The unique 6 is smaller than the preceding species [A". ^;»e/-6- 

 (jrinus, Fst.] and diflers from it in the striolation of the forehead 

 and rostrum, its longer antennae, its more finely sculptured thorax, 

 and by the presence of two tubercular elevations on each elytron 

 at the top of the declivity. 



" The central furrow of the rostrum narrower and reaching the 

 vei'tex of the head. The scape reaching the posterior margin of 

 tlie eye, joints 1 and 2 of the funicle equal and each longer tlian 



3 and 4 together, 4 somewhat shorter tliau 3 and scarcely longer 

 than the remaining three joints. Thorax a little broader than 

 long, the basal margin elevated, the granules finer, flatter and 

 sparser than in peregrimis. Elytra very similar to those of the 

 latter species, but proportionately narrower at the base, the 

 punctures in the external striae more evident, the intervals 2 and 



4 [3 and 5] broader and slightly elevated, the latter gradually 

 raised towards the apex, and each of them with a tubercular 

 elevation at the beginning of the declivity, the longitudinal cur- 

 vature flat, the declivity sloping steeply and directly to the apex. 

 Anal segment with a large shallow depression. Legs scarcely 

 differing from tliose of peregrinus.
