This species belongs to the group of A eg. capitattis Westw. 

 It compares well in size, and is deeply and very thickly punc- 

 tured on the head, on the prothorax and the bears before the 

 eyes the usual tubercles. The mandibles are more slender, 

 curved inwards and very finely punctured ; they have a small 

 basal tooth du'ected backwards and inwards ; somewhat before 

 the centre a smaller tooth which arises on the upper margin 

 directed upwards and inwards. The prothorax has the anterioi- 

 and posterior angles broadly truncated ; it is broader than the 

 head, its sides are nearly parallel and somewhat excavated. 

 The elytra have 7 punctated stripes, the intervals are shining, 

 the sutural-interval punctured. The sides of the elytra are 

 broadly and thickly punctured and covered with bristles. The 

 stripes and intervals finish before the tip of the elytra, the 3rd 

 and 5th interval are joined at the end. The undersides is 

 pitchy-brown ; the tibiae have longitudinal stripes of short 

 bristles. The front tibiae are 3—4 denticulated, the inter- 

 mediate have 2 small spines, the posterior are unarmed. The 

 type, 1 cf , in the Sarawak Museum's collection.
