De Mr. R. V. Chamberlin on new 
of twenty articles. Tergites margined, beginning first 
distinctly on the eighth plate ; sulci beginning on segment 5. 
A weak median keel set off by furrows and two lateral 
ones on each side on most plates. Prosternum with each 
dental platé bearing six or seven teeth, the outermost ones 
smaller in size than the others. Sulci distinct across 
anterior borders of sternites. Last ventral plate strongly 
narrowed caudad; caudal margin deeply incurved ; plate 
with a deep longitudinal sulcus on each side, and a much 
weaker median one. Coxopleural processes at tip with two 
spinous points and laterally with three, none dorsally. Legs 
from first to nineteenth inclusive with two tarsal spines ; 
the twentieth with one. Anal legs with femur smooth, 
wholly unarmed; a scar indicates the probable presence 
of a tarsal spine. Dorsum greenish brown ; head and first 
tergite somewhat ferruginous caudally and antenne also 
hghter, somewhat fulvo-ferruginous beyond the base. 
Venter brown. Legs greenish. 
Length 39 mm.

Similar in general to A. brevicornis, Meinert, the genotype. 
‘The paired dorsal sulci begin as complete lines on the fourth 
tergite instead of on the sixth, traces of sulci occurring on 
the third tergite both across the anterior and the posterior 
border. The female type, as compared with a typical female 
of brevicornis, has the head broader in proportion to the 
length, and anteriorly is more triangularly narrowed, less 
rounded, than in the latter. The last tergite is more 
markedly widened caudad from base, and the caudal end is 
more produced, with the median angle less obtuse. The 
anal legs are more slender than in the female brevicornis, the 
tarsal joints in particular being proportionately longer, with 
the first much exceeding the second instead of being 
essentially equal to it in length ; the claw is conspicuously 
different, being much shorter, less than half the length of 
the second tarsal article instead of as long or nearly as long 
as it, with an even dorsal curve instead of a curve conyex 
proximally, and then flat or concave proximad of tip (more 
as in- female brevicornis), with serrations not extending so 
far toward base.
