angles acute and the hind angles nearly right angles, but blunt. 

 The scutellum is similarly punctured, and the elytra have deeply 

 impressed unpunctured striae, with the intervals convex and 

 everywhere finely and densely punctured. The pygidiurn is finely, 

 densely and evenly granulated. The lower surface is finely punc- 

 tured all over, but less closely along the middle. The front tibia 

 is bidentate, the hind tibia slender, and the larger claw of the 

 front and middle feet cleft. 



3 The two teeth of the front tibia are rather short and sharp, 

 and the inner front claw is short and broad. 



Length, 14' o mm. ; breadth, 7 '5 mm. 



BURMA : Momeit ( W. Doherty). 



I have seen only the unique male type in the British Museum. 



It is very similar to A. pilosella, Fairin. ( = A. hirsutultt, Nonfr.) 

 from Tonkin and Western China, but is rather smaller and more 

 elongate. The metallic lustre is feebler and the head is rather 

 more finely and closely sculptured.

 p. 328. 



Orange, suffused (except upon the elytra) with a greenish metallic 

 lustre, the head (except the front part of the clypeus) and 

 scutellum black, as also the following mai'kings : a broad median 

 stripe upon the pronotum (sometimes absent), and four irregularly 

 shaped spots upon each elytron, forming two transverse median 

 bands. A bifid mark upon each side of the base of the pygidium, 

 the middle of the sternum, transverse bands on the dorsal side of 

 the abdomen, the hind tibiae and all the tarsi are also usually dark, 

 and the posterior part of the elytra from the second transverse 

 row of spots is deeper in colour than the anterior part. 



The body is shortly ovate and rather depressed above. The 

 head is densely punctured, with the clypeus broad and nearly 

 straight in front. The pronotum is minutely, densely and evenly 

 punctured, with the lateral margins strongly angulated in the 

 middle, nearly straight to the front angles, and gently incurved 

 to the hind ones, all the angles being nearly right angles ; the 

 base is well lobed and without a marginal stria. The scutellum is 

 closely punctured, and the elytra are deeply and rather closely and 

 regularly sulcate, the 2nd sulcus broken into irregular punctures 

 at the base, and the intervals minutely and sparingly punctured, 

 the 5th having a linear row of punctures either throughout its 

 length or restricted to its basal part. The pygidium is finely 

 transversely strigose. There is only a very short pubescence at 

 the sides of the metasternum, and the mesosternum is not pro- 

 duced. The front tibia is strongly bidentate and the longer claw 

 of the front and middle feet is cleft. The club of the antenna i 

 rather long.
