margined all round and gently rounded at tlie sides. The 

 scutellum is finely punctured. The elytra are deeply 

 puuctate-striate, the second stria dividing in the anterior 

 lialf. The pygidiura and metastcrnuni are rather strongly 

 and closely punctured. The front tibia is 3-dentate, but the 

 npjiermost tooth is very feeble. The larger cluw of the front 

 foot only is cleft. 



c? . The club of the antenna is rather long. 



This species belongs to the pallida group, and is closely 

 allied to A. walkeri. Arrow, also a Ceylonese species, which 

 is smaller and devoid of the black markings of A. gravida. 

 It is still more like the South-Indian A. communis, Burm., 

 but larger, with the eyes rather smaller and the clypeus less 

 narrow.

Testaceous, with the head, the pronotum (except an 

 irregular outer margin, and generally a very narrow median 

 line), the scutellum, and the basal and sutural margins of the 

 elj^tra (dilating around the scutellum) black or brown. The 

 clypeus, the extremities of the tibias, and the tarsi are 

 reddish. The body is moderately elongate, rather parallel- 

 sided, and depressed. The head is strongly punctured, the 

 clypeus small, with the front mai-gin strongly reHexed and 

 nearly straight in the middle. The eyes are large and the 

 antennae long. The prothorax is moderately finely and 

 closely punctured. The lateral margins are strongly and 

 regularly curved, the front angles acute, and the hind angles 

 not distinct. The scutellum is minutely punctured and the 

 elytra strongly punctate-striate, the second stria being 

 disrupted at the base and the fifth and eighth generally more
