This species appears allied to A. depressus, but is very 
unlike any species belonging to this group with which I 
am acquainted. The head is nearly of the same form, but 
is less rounded in front, with the sides oblique, and with 
the suture separating the clypeus slightly indicated. The 
thorax is less broad in proportion; the anterior angles 
less rounded; the posterior angles more obtuse ; the 
lateral margination less strong. The scutellum is smaller 
in proportion. The elytra are > less emarginate at the base ; 
the striz are very deep, sulciform, strongly crenate. 
In some respects, especially in the sulcation of the 
elytra, this species resembles Oxyomus villosus.
