   Pale 
  yellow, 
  with 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  tarsi 
  red 
  and 
  the 
  vertex 
  

   nearly 
  black, 
  thinly 
  clothed 
  with 
  minute, 
  sparse, 
  erect 
  sefse, 
  

   which 
  are 
  very 
  inconspicuous. 
  The 
  pygidium 
  is 
  clothed 
  witli 
  

   rather 
  long 
  erect 
  hairs. 
  It 
  is 
  short 
  and 
  broad 
  in 
  form 
  and 
  

   rather 
  convex, 
  and 
  the 
  surface 
  is 
  shining. 
  The 
  head 
  is 
  

   tinely 
  rugose 
  and 
  the 
  clypeus 
  broad, 
  with 
  its 
  margin 
  regularly 
  

   rounded 
  and 
  strongly 
  elevated. 
  The 
  pronotum 
  is 
  strongly 
  

   but 
  not 
  closely 
  punctured, 
  rather 
  short, 
  with 
  the 
  front 
  angles 
  

   acute 
  and 
  the 
  hind 
  angles 
  completely 
  rounded 
  off. 
  The 
  

   scutellum 
  and 
  elytra 
  are 
  also 
  strongly 
  but 
  not 
  closely 
  punc- 
  

   tured 
  ; 
  the 
  costSB 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  are 
  moderately 
  distinct, 
  and 
  

   the 
  epipleurai 
  are 
  continued 
  almost 
  to 
  the 
  extremities, 
  being- 
  

   narrow 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  but 
  conspicuously 
  dilating 
  behind, 
  

   where 
  they 
  are 
  smooth 
  and 
  opaque. 
  The 
  legs 
  are 
  rather 
  

   long 
  and 
  slender, 
  the 
  front 
  tibia 
  armed 
  with 
  three 
  rather 
  

   long 
  teeth, 
  which 
  occupy 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  its 
  length. 
  The 
  

   longer 
  claw 
  is 
  rather 
  deeply 
  cleft 
  in 
  the 
  front 
  and 
  middle 
  

   feet, 
  and 
  the 
  shorter 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  foot 
  is 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  

   the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  other. 
  The 
  antennaj 
  are 
  10-jointed, 
  the 
  

   third 
  to 
  seventh 
  joints 
  regularly 
  diminishing.

  The 
  clypeus 
  is 
  shorter 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  female, 
  and 
  

   the 
  pygidium 
  is 
  large 
  and 
  convex.

  The

  A. 
  epiplturalis 
  is 
  very 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  A. 
  renavdi^ 
  

   Brenske, 
  but 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  shorter 
  and 
  broader, 
  the 
  hind 
  

   angles 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum 
  are 
  completely 
  rounded 
  off, 
  and 
  the 
  

   clothing 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  surface 
  is 
  more 
  scanty, 
  being 
  so 
  thin 
  

   that 
  a 
  smooth 
  shining 
  appearance 
  is 
  produced.
