the lower surface and femora orange-red, with a metallic green 

 suffusion, the tibiae and tarsi deep metallic greeii. 



It is shortly oval, very convex, closely punctured above and not 

 very shining. The clypeus is densely punctured, the forehead a 

 little less densely, the former being rather broad, straight in front 

 and rounded at the sides. The pronotum is finely and closely 

 punctured, more coarsely and densely at the sides ; the lateral 

 margins are strongly curved, the front angles slightly acute, and 

 the hind angles well marked but obtuse. The scutellum is finely 

 but not closely punctured, and the elytra are rather closely punc- 

 tured, with somewhat larger punctures forming inconspicuous 

 longitudinal lines. The pygidiuin is densely granular and opaque 

 and clothed thinly with yellow hairs, which are closest a little 

 beyond the base and near the apex. The sides of the rneta- 

 sternum and abdomen are more closely clothed with similar 

 hairs. The front tibia is bidentate, and the longer claw is cieft 

 upon the front and middle feet. 



cf . The extremity of the front tibia is moderately sharp, and 

 the pygidium is rather more opaque than in the female. 



$ . The apical tooth of the front tibia is long and very blunt. 



Length, 20-21-5 mm.; breadth, 12-12-5 mm.

Testaceous, with the head, prouotum (except the lateral 

 margins) and elytra olivaceous green, and the tibia and tarsi 

 feebly metallic. 



It is rather narrowly ovate, and moderately shining, with the 

 upper surface densely subrugosely punctured. The elytra are 

 more rugosely sculptured than the rest of the upper surface 

 and have distinct longitudinal rows of larger punctures. The 

 pygidium is rugosely punctured. 



Length, 15-17 mm.

A. malabariensis, Bl., is very similar to the following species, 

 but smaller and more elongate, with the front angles of the pro- 

 thorax sharper, the elytra with distinct rows of punctures larger 

 than the rest, the pygidiuin densely rugose, and the tibiae and tarsi 

 slightly coppery, instead of green.
