Hah. Abyssinia, 4 $$, 2 $$ (Mission de Bonchamps, 

 Ch. Ilichel et if. Potter, 1899 ; Mus. Paris). 



This fine species is closely allied to A. erythrocephala ; 

 it differs in its paler colour, the fore part of the body 

 being entirely clear yellow, except a narrow sutural band 

 down the elytra, which is a little darker ; in the form of 

 the forceps, which have the inner margin crenulated and 

 armed with a tooth at the second third of their length ; 

 the branches are also less regularly curved, but gently 

 sinuate ; in the female, the branches are longer than in 

 A. erythrocephala, less straight and armed near the base 

 on the inner margin with a small blunt tooth.
