I liave seen only a single (male) specimen. It closely 

 resembles A. anihracina, but the clypcus is more deeply 

 excavated, a little longer and more rounded in front and 

 less strongly punctured. The prothorax is a little shorter 

 and more broadly margined, the elytra are more meagrely 

 punctured at the sides and the pygidium is more distinctly 

 and uniformly punctured.

We possess five male specimens of this species, which 

 is also very nearly related to the A. antliracina, but rather 

 smaller, less black above, and paler upon the underside 

 and legs. The form and sculpture are almost the same, 

 but the prothorax is a little longer and more tapering in 

 front and the scutellum is shining and decorated only with 

 a few large punctures. The apical margins of the elytra 

 are more rounded and the angles less sharp. 



A genus Blahtphorns was founded by Fairmaire in 1898 

 upon female specimens from Sumatra and Labuan. The 

 description is not only entirely insufficient but ratlier 

 misleading, and I am indebted to M. Lesne, of the Paris 

 Museum, for kindly making comparisons with the type 

 specimen which have established its identity with a 

 common and widely distributed insect whose long anony-
