In this very pretty species, the shoulders are hardly so square 

 as in the type of the group, the whole insect being narrow. The 

 spots on the elytra are generally round, but at times they are so 

 much enlarged as almost to form fascisG. The abdomen is not 

 wholly covered by the elytra. I have dedicated this apparently 

 common and pretty species to my friend the discoverer. 



Sp. 3(5. A. cjiaron. 

 Niger nitidus punctulatus subglaber ; thorace subtrapezoidali 

 antice nigro, ad basin flavo-rufescenti ; elytris immaculatis 

 antice punctatis ; antennis et pedibus ferrugineis.

King George's Sound ; in the collection of W. MacLeay, Esq. 

 This interesting species is evidently near A. infernus, from. 

 Mexico, and A. stijgms from the Cape of Good Hope. The basal 

 half of the thorax is yellowish red, the rest is black. The anterior 

 portion of the elytra is deeply punctured ; towards the apex the 

 punctures almost disappear. The elytra are broadest behind the 

 middle. The suture is slightly raised posteriorly. The whole 

 insect is very thinly covered with whitish setae. 



Group X. 



Thorax subcordate, the length either equal to, or a little 

 greater than the breadth ; elytra varying in colour and punctu- 

 ratiou. 



Sp. 37. A. crassipes. La Ferte. 

 Fusco-brunneus, subnitidus, parum crebre punctatus, sub- 

 hirsuto-pubescens ; autennarum basi tibiis tarsisque rufes- 

 centibus elytris maculis duabus obliquis altera pone 

 humerum altera pone medium flavo-ferrugineis ; tibiis 

 maris iusolite incrassatis introrsum emarg'inatis.
