irregularly-shaped spots of the same colour, of which the most 

 prominent are a claval streak, three discal (the lowermost largest), 

 one large and long costal spot at about centre, and three subapical 

 spots (the central largest). Membrane bronzy-brown. Abdomen

 margins of antennal bases, and a fascia from the same to base of 

 head, fuscous. Prosternum fuscous, anterior and posterior margins 

 and a transverse discal line ochraceous ; lateral margins and a 

 spot near coxae reddish. Meso- and metasternums fuscous, their 

 margins and the odoriferous apertures ochraceous, and with red- 

 dish spots near bases of coxae. Abdomen beneath reddish ochra- 

 ceous, ornamented with a number of large dark fuscous spots.

The second joint of the antennae is shorter than the third, the 

 third and fourth subequal in length (fifth joint mutilated). The 

 head is rather thickly and finely punctate, excepting the lateral 

 margins, which are levigate. Pronotum more coarsely and 

 sparingly punctate, the lateral margins levigate and finely crenu- 

 late anteriorly, the lateral angles obtusely pointed and slightly 

 produced. Scutellum coarsely and rather closely punctate. Corium 

 finely and sparingly punctate. Eostrum dislocated in specimen 

 described, but apparently reaching the third abdominal segment. 

 Abdomen with a central longitudinal sulcation. 



This species is allied to A. tessellatus, DalL, and now 

 makes a second described Indian species. It can be at 

 once separated from Dallas's species by the different 

 markings, different colour of the legs, rostrum, &c.

 Body above pale ochraceous, sometimes suffused with purplish 

 above. Head with the margins of the central lobe (angulated 

 externally about centre) and the base black. Antenna? ochraceous, 

 the apex of the third, and the fourth and fifth joints palely infus- 

 cated. Pronotum with twelve black spots, arranged four on the 

 anterior margin, remainder on disk, three in each angular area, 

 and two at centre. Scutellum with ten black spots, situate four at 

 base, four near centre, and two before apex. Corium with three 

 black spots arranged somewhat longitudinally. Membrane
