base, gradually narrowed posteriorly, each sharply rounded at the 

 apex. Legs rather long; femora sublinear, the hind pair not 

 reaching to the apex of the elytra ; tarsi long, with joints first to 

 third successively shorter, the third narrowly and not deeply 

 bilobed, the claw-joint long. Front coxae prominent, transverse ; 

 the prosternal process between them very narrow, but dilated 

 behind so as almost to meet the epimera. Episterna of meta- 

 thorax broad in front, gradually narrowed posteriorly, obtuse at 

 the apex. 



$ . Eelatively shorter, broader and less pubescent than the 

 male. Antennae shorter than the body. Elytra shortened so as to 

 leave the last one or two segments of the abdomen uncovered, 

 broadly rounded at the apex. Intercoxal process of first abdominal 

 segment obtusely rounded or subtruncate in front in the type, 

 acutely angulate in other species. 



Wings present in both sexes. Venation variable. In the type 

 species the first cubital is bifurcate posteriorly and the second 

 cubital is wanting ; in A. Tcashmiriana the first cubital does not 

 bifurcate, the second cubital is present and is joined by a transverse 

 vein with the first cubital and is also joined with the first anal.

Varies from reddish brown to brownish black in the colour of 

 the derm, rather densely covered with yellowish grey or fawn- 

 qoloured pubescence. Antennae of c? 

 about one-fourth longer than the body ; 

 joints from the third compressed ; sixth to 

 tenth acutangulate anteriorly at the apex, 

 fifth rectangulate, fourth obtuse ; second 

 and third scarcely as long as the first, dis- 

 tinctly shorter than the fourth ; fifth nearly 

 as long as the third and fourth united. 

 Prothorax with a sharp, slightly upturned 

 tubercle on each side and five feeble 

 obtuse tubercles on the disc two before 

 the middle and three near the base ; 

 finely punctulate, with a few sparse 

 granules at the sides behind the lateral 

 tubercles. Elytra somewhat sparsely 

 punctate from the base to the apical third. 

 Third joint of tarsi cleft to the middle, its 

 lobes a little wider than in other species of 

 the genus. 



The female is shorter and broader than the male and less 

 pubescent ; the antennae extend very little beyond the middle of 

 the elytra, with the fourth joint scarcely longer than the third, and 

 the fifth but little longer than the fourth ; the elytra do not com- 

 pletely cover the abdomen, but leave the greater part of the pygidium
