  This 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  species 
  (7.5 
  mm. 
  long 
  and 
  6

  broad). 
  

   Mr.

  reports 
  it 
  also 
  from

  and

  so 
  that 
  the 
  

   present

  This 
  insect 
  was 
  quite 
  abundant 
  on 
  the 
  specimen 
  leaves 
  collected 
  

   by 
  Mr. 
  Muir. 
  Externally 
  it 
  resembles 
  A. 
  rapax 
  so 
  closely 
  that 
  

   nothing 
  short 
  of 
  a 
  careful 
  study
