 anterior margin ; surface between the tooth and the apex

Dr. Stal, in his Enumeratio Hemipterorum, part 5, 

 p. 88 (1876), describes a species from Dekan under the 

 name of A. coronattts, to which the insect just described 

 bears a great resemblance ; but the differences in the 

 coloration of the antennae, the characters on the pro- 

 notum, the differences in the expansion across the 

 posterior angles of the latter, as compared with the 

 length, will sufUciently enable anyone to separate them. 

 I have only a single example, but have no note of locality.
