   metallic 
  lustre, 
  and 
  clothed 
  with 
  unevenly 
  distributed 
  

   decumbent 
  yellowish

  forming 
  longitudinal 
  rows 
  of 
  

   alternately 
  bare 
  and

  spots

  the 
  elytra. 
  

   Across 
  the 
  apical 
  calli 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  transverse 
  series 
  of 
  tufts 
  of 
  

   still 
  closer 
  and 
  longer 
  setee, 
  and 
  the 
  pygidium 
  bears 
  three 
  

   similar 
  tufts 
  in 
  a 
  transverse 
  row 
  far 
  apart. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  elongate-oval 
  and 
  not 
  very 
  depressed. 
  The 
  head 
  is 
  

   closely 
  punctured, 
  with 
  a 
  lightly 
  punctured 
  shining 
  area 
  in 
  the 
  

   middleof 
  the 
  forehead, 
  and 
  theclypeusissmall 
  and 
  semicircular. 
  

   The 
  eyes 
  are 
  large 
  and 
  prominent. 
  The 
  piouotum 
  is 
  strongly 
  

   and 
  densely 
  but 
  unevenly 
  punctured, 
  with 
  the 
  sides 
  strongly 
  

   rounded, 
  the 
  front 
  angles 
  nearly 
  right 
  angles, 
  and 
  the 
  hind 
  

   angles 
  very 
  obtuse. 
  The 
  scutellum 
  and 
  elytra 
  are 
  closely 
  

   punctured, 
  and 
  the 
  costse 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  almost 
  obsolete. 
  The 
  

   extremities 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  dark, 
  opaque, 
  and 
  thinly 
  setose, 
  

   and 
  the 
  calli 
  are 
  prominent. 
  The 
  front 
  tibiai 
  are 
  broad 
  and 
  

   sharply 
  tridentate, 
  the 
  hind 
  legs 
  extremely 
  short, 
  and 
  the 
  

   hind 
  tibise 
  inflated. 
  The 
  longer 
  claw 
  of 
  the 
  front 
  and 
  middle 
  

   feet 
  is 
  very 
  minutely 
  cleft 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  the 
  shorter 
  claw 
  

   of 
  the 
  hind 
  feet 
  is 
  reduced 
  to 
  a 
  minute 
  vestige. 
  The 
  antennae 
  

   are 
  10-jointed, 
  the 
  fourth 
  and 
  fifth 
  joints 
  short, 
  and 
  the 
  third 
  

   and 
  sixth 
  longer.

  The 
  eyes 
  are 
  larger 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  female. 
  The 
  teelh 
  of 
  the 
  

   front 
  tibia 
  are 
  sharply 
  pointed, 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  separated 
  

   by 
  an 
  acute 
  notch, 
  the 
  third 
  excessively 
  short.

  The 
  teeth 
  of 
  the 
  front 
  tibia 
  are 
  strong 
  and 
  close 
  

   together. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  nearly 
  related 
  to 
  A. 
  comj)ressiis, 
  Wiede., 
  but 
  differs 
  

   in 
  the 
  more 
  conspicuous 
  white 
  tufts 
  at 
  tiie 
  extremity 
  of 
  the 
  

   elytra 
  and 
  the 
  pygidium,
