This species is distinguished by its narrow elongate form, its 

 prothorax being to the eye considerably (and by measurement 

 slightly) longer than wide. Its prothorax has no white 

 squamosity on the upper surface except the median line. Com- 

 pared with A. phaleratus, Er., its rostrum is evenly convex above 

 with scarcely distinct longitudinal sculpture, the prothorax is 

 more feebly and much less closely rugulose. The white markings 

 formed by scales on the elytra are a blotch behind the scutellum, 

 a spot on each side of the suture about the middle of its length, 

 two spots close to each other on tlie lateral declivity slightly in 

 front of the middle, a marginal vitta in the hinder half, and a 

 vitta running forward (from the apex) on the disc to near the 

 middle of the length, and ending about half-way between the 

 suture and lateral margin.
