It is a little less ovate than A. epJd'jJpmni, the proiiotiim 

 beino; rather broader in front and less gradually rouiAded. 

 Its dark area is much narrower in front than behind, 

 where it usually reaches the hind angles. Upon the elytra 

 the dark patch extends almost to the outer edges, enclosing 

 a conspicuous humeral spot, and its posterior margin is 

 jagged uear the suture. In the male the front tibia is 

 curved, thickened at the end, with a minute sharp tooth, 

 which is absent in A. epliippium. A. plagiatus Gerst., is 

 evidently closely similar, but has the front tibia of the 

 male differently formed.

A considerable series of tliis formerly in the collection 

 of Alexander Fry vary in colour from light brown to 

 nearly black, but in fully coloured specimens the five basal 

 joints and the extreme tip of the antemiae, the sides of 

 the prothorax, the shoulders and extremities of the elytra, 

 and the legs are reddish and the remaining parts very 

 dark. It is a rather small, short and broad insect, not 

 very convex and rather strongly and closely punctured. 



It was taken in March by Mr. Fry and was also found 

 by the late E. GouncHe.
