moreover is markedly finer and closer than in ferox and of con-

the prothorax is more flatly horizontal with its lobes non-

A. callabonnensis, sp. nov. Minus convexus; sat nitidus; 
piceus vel nigro-piceus, prothoracis lateribus elytris (maculis 
nonnullis fuscis exceptis) pedibusque (presertim femoribus 
posterioribus) testaceis ; capite mutico, sparsim sat fortiter 
punctulato, clypeo antice sinuato-truncato; prothorace ad 
latera capillis elongatis fimbriato, postice haud marginato, 
lateribus modice arcuatis, angulis posticis obtusis ; scutello 
parvo sparsim punctulato; elytris subtiliter striatis, striis 
seriatim punctulatis, interstitiis suturali 3° 5° que fortiter 
convexis externis uniseriatim punctulatis; tibiis anticis 
extus bidentatis (dente apicali incluso); tibiis posticis setis 
inzequalibus instructis ; tarsorum posticorum articulo primo 
elongato (quam 2"* 3° que conjuncti paullo longiori), 2° 
quam 3" longiori. 
Maris prothorace subtiliter, feminz magis fortiter, sparsim punc- 
tulato. Long., 241; lat., 14.1. 
Allied to A. sws, Fab. The fuscous spots on the elytra are one 
on the fourth interstice immediately in front of the middle and 
several considerably behind the middle placed in a transverse 
line and more or less run together. Also resembles A. lindensis, 
Blackb., differing from it inter alia by its bidentate front tibie, 
clypeus truncate in front, sides of prothorax not emarginate be- 
hind, elytral costee more prominent. A. Candezer, Har., also 
seems (from description) to resemble the present species but 
belongs to a different section of the genus having its prothorax 
margined behind.
