Like A. helopoides, but with smaller eyes, a shorter and 

 stouter rostrum, a small transverse prothorax, much 

 narrower than the elytra at their broadest part, the latter 

 short, broad, and strongly convex, with the intervals of 

 the striae differently sculptured. Tlie exact locality of 

 my specimen is uncertain.
