"Apparently belongs to Stal's subgenus XantliocUlus, and 

 probably allied to A. orientalis, but the transTOrse impression on 

 the pronotum is much more distinct ; dull blackish, with brownish 

 hairs ; labium [rostrum] pale piceous ; eyes reddish-brown, 

 darkening outwardly ; ocelli colourless ; laminate lateral margin of 

 pronotum yellowish-brown, hind area pale castaneous, punctured 

 with blackish ; scutellum apically fading a little, punctured with 

 black ; ambulacra, trochanters, bases of femora, first two seo'ments 

 of tarsi, hind margin of metasternum, etc., pale castaneous, rest 

 of legs more or less piceous; tegmina testaceous, subhyahne, 

 with brown punctures ; about the apical half brown-fuscous, with 

 a large subtriangular pale yellow spot on the outer half of the 

 middle ; basal half of membrane smoky, except one pale undulating 

 vein and two spots ; apical margin irregularly and faintly smoky! 

 Porm apparently that of A. orientalis, but the pronotum is impressed 

 transversely basad of the middle, the lateral margins of the 

 pronotum laminately keeled ; antennae as in A. orientalis ; labium 

 [rostrum] reaching a little beyond the middle of the mesosternum ; 

 clavus with three rows of punctures ; fore femora more strongly 

 incrassate than in A. orientalis, and have two strong submedian 

 spines and a few feeble ones ; tarsi dilated at the apex ; hind 

 femora not dentate." {KirJcaldy.)
