402 ; Dr. G. A. K. Marshall on new 
bearing an opaque patch, the remainder shiny, and the 
apica] area coriaceous dorsally and rugosely punctate at the 
sides. Scutellum small, ovate, bare, and entirely enclosed in 
front. Hlytra subcylindrical, hardly broader than the pro- 
thorax at the shoulders, very slightly widening behind and 
broadest not far from the apex, which is very broadly 
rounded, and with a shallow transverse impression close to 
the base; the broad deep strie containing large quadrate 
fovez, and becoming much shallower on the declivity; the 
intervals much narrower than the strizw, subcostate, shiny, 
rugulose, and the dorsal ones subgranulate towards the 
base; the setz on the non-squamose area extremely minute. 
Legs (fig. 1, e) moderately long, rugosely punctate, and thinly 
clothed with linear scales; the femora with a small, sharp, 
simple tooth ; the front tibia much compressed, very broad 
in the basal half, and rapidly narrowing towards the apex, the 
outer edge gently and evenly curved, the inner edge almost 
straight and with a very small sharp tooth not far from the 
base, and the posterior pairs simple; the front coxz of the 
3 with a laminate tubercle. Sternum with the front coxz 
almost as widely separated as the middle pair; the meta- 
sternum smooth and with a few sparse granules. 
Length 12-13 mm., breadth 4°5-4°75 mm.

Described from a pair. 
Allied to A. sellatus, Fst., but that species is much 
smaller and has a very deep depression at the base of the 
elytra; the stripe on the basal third of intervals 5 and 6 is 
united externally with the lateral stripe; the front tibize 
are armed with a strong sharp tooth at the middle of the 
internal edge, ete.

3 2. Formsubcylindrical; integument black, with sharply 
defined creamy-white stripes and bands; the head and 
the rostrum (in ¢ only) with thin pale scaling; the pro- 
notum with three pale stripes which do not quite reach the 
apex; the elytra each with an oblique stripe starting at the 
base just in front of the scutellum and ending at the middle 
on stria 4, and another lateral stripe starting at the base on 
intervals 6 and 7 (and including the extreme base of 5) for 
one-fourth the length, then passing for a short distance to 
intervals 7 and 8, then widening to cover intervals 6-9, and, 
finally, merging into a broad, well-defined, transverse hand
