Type, ui. aiiii/i/dali, Germ. An Eastern European species. 



Distribution. I'alaearctic liegion. 



Body elongate ; head broad and long, the apex subtruncate, the 

 lateral margins unarmed, with the lateral lobes extending beyond 

 the central lobe ; antennae with the basal joint not reaching the 

 apex of the head, second joint twice as loui; as the first ; pronotum 

 with the anterior lateral margins finely denticulated, the lateral 

 angles subprominent ; scutellum long, narrowed towards the apex, 

 which is rounded ; abdomen centrally sulcate on basal area ; 

 rostrum with the third joint a little longer than the second. 



This is really a Pakearctic genus. Three species have been 

 described, one of which is found in Eastern Europe, another in 

 Turkestan, whilst the third here enumerated from Kashmir is 

 probably the species included in the Indian fauna as A. amygdali 

 by Atkinson (J. A. S. Beng. Ivii, p. 4, 1888) and said to occur in 

 Assam.
