 converge and unite before reaching the apex, oldique, decreasing 

 in width towards the obtusely roimded apex, laterally compressed

 p. 507, 38 (1851). 



Parii (Wallace). Types Brit. Mus. 



Although, by rights, this species should perhaps bear the name 

 of A. gladiator, and Stal's insect should be renamed, I jii-efer 

 for the present (as I do not knoAv the latter), to retain Walker's 

 later name for A. gladiator^ and thus avoid the possibility of 

 adding to the syuomymy by giving a fresh designation to Avhat 

 may be identical Avith one of Walker's species ; the fact that 

 Stal steadily ignored the greater part of Walker's Avork renders 

 this far from unlikely.
