536 Mr. Waterhoumon some South American 
Allied to A. chrysis, but of quite a different colour. 
Dark olive-green, tinted with wneous; the colour is so 
dark that the insect appears black where the light does 
not shine on it. ‘The punctuation on the forehead, disk 
of thorax, scutellum, and elytra is moderately close and 
distinct, but the punctures are as if made with a blunt 
point. The pygidium is closely and rather finely vermi- 
culose-strigose, the sculpture below the segment much 
coarser ; the penultimate segment of the abdomen below 
is smooth, the other segments have a line of punctures. 
The mesosternal process is long and thick, rather 
enlarged at the apex, and much curved over the anterior 
coxe. The sides of the thorax are closely and finely 
punctured, but not quite so densely as in A. chrysis. 
The legs are less robust, and the tarsi much more 
slender ; the larger claw of the anterior tarsi is about 
two-thirds the length of the claw-joimt. Male.

In the British Museum collection there is a species 
from Bolivia which I have no doubt is A. concoloripes, 
Blanch. A. sobrina is nearer to this than to A. chrysis, 
on account of the more slender tarsi, but it is of a totally 
different colour ; and the sternal process in the Bolivian 
insect is more slender and acuminate.

Very close to A. lucida, Oliv., and similarly coloured. 
It is narrower; the clypeus is very thickly and much 
more distinctly punctured; the punctuation of the 
thorax and elytra is also more distinct, especially at the 
apex of the elytra. The pygidium is more conical, very 
finely, and not very closely, punctured; the apical 
margin distinctly strigose. The metasternum is smooth, 
with a few fine punctures at the side. The 2nd to 5th 
abdominal segments have well-marked oblique ridges, as 
in A. lucida.
