This is generally a little more elongate than A.degeneraia. 

 The clypeus and forehead are densely punctate-rugose. The 

 proiiotum is very finely punctured in the middle and coarsely 

 and closely at the sides, the lateral margins are angulated 

 just before the middle, the front and hind angles are sharp, 

 and the basal lobe is slight. The scutellum is very minutely 

 and sparsely punctured. The elytra are deeply striated, the 

 strise closely punctured, the interstices convex and the fifth 

 from the suture divided by an almost continuous row of 

 closely-set punctures. The pygidium is rather closely and 

 strongly punctured. Tiie mesosternal process is extremely 

 slender and sharp, not compressed nor strongly curved. The 

 nietasternum is closely punctured at the sides and clothed 

 with tawny hair. The frotit tibia is shnrply bidentate and 

 the longer claw of the front and middle feet clefr. 



^ . The lower lobe of the inner front claw is dilated and 

 obtusely angidated. 



This differs from all the allied species in having the 

 scutellum pale and a broad median yellow stripe upon the 

 pronotum completely dividing the dark colour into two longi- 

 tudinal patches. The sides ot the pronotum and the pygidium 

 are also more coarsely punctured than in the other species. 

 Tlie mesosternal process is exceedingly acute and slender.

Huh. Madura : Shembaganur (P. da BreuiT). 



Pale testaceous, suffused with a slight metallic lustre, with 

 green markings disposed as follows: — a patch on the vertex, 

 a broad median patch on the pronotum extending from front 

 to hind margin, the scutellum, a vague zigzag stripe at the 

 posterior end of the elytra, and a large patch on each side of 

 the pygidium. The dorsal segments of the abdomen are 

 striped with black and the tarsi are dark. 



It is a small shortly ovate species, very shining above and 

 beneath, with short pale yellow hair at the sides of the 

 sternum. The head is densely punctate-rugose. The pro-
