prothorax is plainly convex, glabrous but with an outer fringe 
of long setz; the elytra are glabrous, very plainly ampliated behind 
and convex there, as deeply punctate as the prothorax and without 
any traces of dorsal costules; the antennal club of the female is 
6-jointed, the inner joint is only half the length of the following 
one, 
Evidently allied to A. hirticollis, but more ampliated laterally 
behind, and without traces of villosity on the prothorax.

and with the anterior angles sharp, but not projecting; both head 
and clypeus are deeply punctured, and glabrous; prothorax convex, 
covered with equi-distant punctures, not closely set, and fringed
