S. VV. Madagascar (Fokobory). 



Larger than A. brevicollis Bergr., dilïerently coloured, with 

 much shorter head, less transverse pronotum provided with four 

 calions spots anteriorly, and with the pilosity of the antennœ and 

 legs much shorter and more bristly. 



This genus is represented by seven species in the palearctic 

 région and two in Madagascar, but nos species has yet been des- 

 cribed form India nor form the African mainland south of Algeria 

 and Tunis Schouteden has, however, recently shown me a species 

 found by Sjôstedt at the Hippopotamus Lakes near the Meru 

 mountain.

Guinea (Porto Novo, Dahomey). 



Easily distinguished from the other African species by the pale 

 colour and the very fine puncturation.
