Head olivaceous, impunctate ; prouotum with the anterior area 

 oHvaceoiis, coax'sely but sparingly punctured with black, and \\ith 

 a broad impunctate orange fascia near anterior margin, posterior 

 area brownish-ochraceous rather thickly punctured with black, 

 lateral angles produced into long ochraceous or reddish-ochi'aceous 

 spines, with their apices slightly recurved, their basal portions 

 punctate, their apices Isevigate ; scutellum olivaceous or reddish - 

 ochraceous, sparingly and irregularly punctured with black, the 

 apex pale, levigate ; corium reddish-ochraceous, the outer margin 

 broadly olivaceous, rather strongly blackly punctate ; membrane 

 pale brownish hyaline : body beneath and legs ochraceous ; 

 antennae olivaceous, apex of third and the whole of fourth and 

 fifth joints infuscated. 



Length 14| to 15 ; breadth between pronotal angles 13 millim.

Closely allied to A. rufescens, Dall., but differing in the lateral 

 processes of the pronotum, also, in the male, in the anterior margin 

 before the apex being a little more distinctly convex and entirely 

 sanguineous, and especially in the structure of the genitalia in the 

 male. First genital segment about one-third shorter than pre- 

 ceding, apical margin slightly sinuate, second segment uncovered 

 on the margin, straight in the middle, with two small bands sub- 

 vertically placed in the middle itself, shortly but densely fulvous- 

 pilose, apical angle produced into a long, somewhat incurved horn, 

 which is furnished at the apex with a densely fulvous pilose 

 fascicula, its exterior margin as long as the lateral margin of the 

 preceding segments, inferior margin as long as the margin of the 

 apical segment : stijli briefly biramose at the apex, upper ramus 

 narrow and acutely acuminate, apex somewhat curved, inferior 

 broader and more obtuse, abruptl}'^ dentately conti'acted at the 

 apex. 



Length 15 millim.

I have seen nothing which I can identify with the above 

 description given by Renter, who does not state in what respects 

 the lateral horns of the pronotum differ from those of A. rufescens, 

 nor does he give the breadth between the same.
