mouiliform, and the lltli oblong and stout; they arc 
rufous in colour, darker than the ]3alpi and legs, which are 
yelloAvish-testaceous. The head is similar in form to that 
ofi?. liarpalinus. The elytra arc punctiilate-striate, the 
5 til — 7 th striaj very faintly impressed and the scutcllar 
striole wanting. Beneath, the gula is remarkably large 
and convex, and the thorax and abdomen punctulate. 
The anterior edge of the prosternum is not marginated ; 
the middle of the basal segment of the abdomen has an 
elongate pubescent fovea. 
In some respects this species agrees with Tacliycellus, 
but the middle tarsi of the $ are decidedly simple and 
without squama; on the soles. Tlie terminal joint of the 
palpi is much longer than the penultimate, and the meutum 
has a distinct acute tooth.

This insect has the general figure of Bradycelhis liar- 
palinus, but is of vastly greater size, being 4^ to 5 lines in 
length. The generic character resides chiefly in the 
absence of scales and hairs from the middle of the soles of 
the dilated tarsi of the $ . Both anterior and middle tarsi 
are moderately dilated ; the margins of the soles fringed 
with long hairs, the centres naked. The head and thorax are 
bright ferruginous-red, in the type, Avith the elytra pitchy- 
black or brown ; but JNIr. Lewis took examples which have 
the Avhole upper surface of the same piceous colour.

Less elongate than A. conspittus, and differing in the 
very obtuse, almost rounded, hind angles of the thorax ; the 
hind margin near the aiigles is reflexed, enclosing the 
broad shallow basal fovea, Avhicli is finely punctured. The 
eyes arc still more convex than in A. conspiitns. The 
elytra are a shade browner in colour than the taAvny-rcd
