or less irregular. The pygidium is strongly but not very 

 closely punctured^ and bears a few long hairs. The sides of 

 the metasternum are rather closely punctured and thinly 

 pubescent, and the abdomen is coarsely punctured, each 

 segment bearing a transverse row of stiff bristles. The front 

 tibia is 3-dentate and the inner front claw only is cleft. 



The inner front claw of the male is dilated but very acute, 

 and the antcnnal club is very long. 



This is a very small species of the pallida and communis 

 group, to which A. walkeri and gravida also belong, but it 

 differs from all others in having thescutellum and the greater 

 part of the pronotum dark.

Pale testaceous, with the head and the extreme edges of 

 the pronotum, scutellum, and elytra black, and the clypeus 

 (very deeply), the hind tibiae, and all the tarsi red. 



The body is elongate, with the elytra only very slightly 

 wider in the middle than at the shoulders, smooth but not 

 very shining above, and scarcely convex. The head is en- 

 tirely very densely punctured, the clypeus nearly straight in 

 front, with the sides slightly converging. The pronotum is 

 extremely minutely and rather evenly punctured, finely but 

 deeply margined all round, with the sides angulated near the 

 middle, the front angles acute and the hind angles obtuse. 

 'Jhe scutellum is finely punctured and the elytra lightly but 

 a little more coarsely, most of the punctures, except in the 

 broad subsutural interstice, forming rather indistinct lines. 

 The pygidium is finely and irregularly punctured, the meta- 

 sternum closely punctured and clothed with short erect 

 pubescence at the sides, scantily i)unctured and pubescent in 

 the middle. The abdomen is nearly smooth. The front
