This new species, which I have dedicated to the 

 intrepid African traveller Stanley, is considerably larger 

 than the type of the genus, A. Turneri, and, like it, the 

 male is clothed on the upper side of the body with a 

 close and very short velvety pile, rendering the surface 

 opaque on the head and prothorax ; this pile is of a dark 

 fulvous colour, rather darker in front of the scutellum, 

 whilst on the elytra it is of a dark chestnut-red ; the 

 scutellum is dark olivaceous, with slender paJer lateral 

 margins, and the suture is very slender and dark green. 

 On each shoulder of the elytra there is a very small 

 polished spot, and below this is a very fine elevated line 

 extending to the subapical tubercle ; each elytron is 

 terminated at the extremity of the suture by a very 

 small point ; half-way between the longitudinal line and 

 the suture is another scarcely perceptible fine raised line, 

 united to the former at its junction with the subapical 

 tubercle. The front of the head, or clypeus, is subovate,
