 of sulcation, but not the least trace ofstrialion; before the apex 

 the suture is a little depressed, in some examples there is a faint 

 suturai stria near the apex. Tibiae nearly straight very little wide- 

 ned at their apices.

So far as size, form and punctuation go, this species is very 

 nearly allied to A. javanus, the principal différence being, that 

 the yellow fasciœ are never united as in A. javanus, and are diffe- 

 rently toothed. Thèse denticulations tend to join across the first 

 black fasciae, and in fact ail but unité, in the fourth interstice in 

 the Harmatti spécimen. If they so united they would form elongate 

 oval black spots différent frora the pattern of A. javanus. I hâve 

 long known this insect from a spécimen in bad condition from the 

 Calcutta Muséum. "•
