broadest about the middle, tlie apex 8li<i;htly narrower than the 

 base, the upper sui-face a little flattened in the middle, finely and 

 closely punctate throughout, with a narrow central furrow which 

 does not quite reach the base or apex. Elytra oblong-ovate, the 

 sides almost parallel from near the base to behind the middle and 

 rather abruptly narrowed behind, the apices slightly dehiscent, 

 the stria3 with rather sliallow subcrenate punctures, the intervals 

 even, slightly convex and about as broad as the htria^. Legs

shiny black, with pale setae, all the tibiae denticulate (more strongly 

 in the 6 ) and especially the front pair, tiie latter strongly curved 

 in both sexes, the hind pair in the S only, but with an internal

The structure of the apex of the hind tibia of the S is very

Colour black, with thin pale scaling (perhaps a good deal abraded 

 in the typical specimens), the elytra without erect set^, and vvith 

 only some short depressed sefje on the declivity. 



Head and rostrum similar to those of A. ebeniims. Antennw 

 dark ferruginous, the funicle vvith joint 1 much longer than 2, 

 3-7 transverse. Frothorax of very similar shape, but slightly 

 broader than long and shorter in relation to the elytra, not 

 flattened above, with very close fine shallow punctation and vvith a 

 short deep central stria at the base only. Elytra as in eheninus, 

 but the apices not dehiscent. Legs piceous, the tibiae -not denti- 

 culate internally, the front pair strongly curved, the hind pair 

 only slightly so and with the apex not produced internally.
