vous, "vvith a narrow strip at the base and apex dark violet ; palpi

The Z«m/rt Z)«Wor^2 of Illiger (in Wiedemann's Arch, fiir Zool. 

 i, pt. ii. p. 136) includes three species, but I have here confined 

 the name to the one described by Fabricius, which is at once 

 differentiated by the violet apices and base of the elytra, and the 

 body beneath entirely black.

 the meso- and meta-sterna, which, with the tibiae, tarsi and an-

 but with a short point behind the middle ; elytra broad, punc-

A broad, full-bodied species, the most so perhaps of the genus. 

 Differs from A. ignorantinus, J. Thorns., in the body beneath anrl 

 the four anterior legs being yellow, the posterior black. My 

 specimens differ from M. Thomson's description in the lower part 

 of the tibiae and the tarsi being yellowish, not black.
