Entirely brownish red, densely clothed with greyish decumbent 

 setae, and with a very few isolated erect hairs near the sides of the 

 elytra. 



It is elongate, parallel-sided and depressed. The eyes are 

 very large, and the head finely granulated in front and densely 

 rugulose behind ; the clypeus small, broadly semicircular, with 

 the margin strongly reflexed. The pronotum is very short, 

 uneven, and finely rugulosely punctured, with its sides gently 

 rounded, the front angles blunt and the hind angles indicated 

 but almost rounded off. The scutellum is finely punctured, and 

 the elytra finely rugosely punctured, with the costae narrow 

 and inconspicuous. The pygidium is coriaceous and clothed 

 with rather long erect hairs. The antennae are 10-jointed, 

 joints 3 to 6 being elongate and nearly equal. The front 

 tibia is long and armed with three sharp teeth, occupying less 

 than half its length ; the second and third teeth are farther 

 apart than the first and second, and are separated by a sharp 

 notch ; the longer front and middle claws are minutely cleft, 

 and the shorter claw of the hind foot is more than half as long 

 as the other ; the hind tibia is a little contracted at the end. 



I have not seen the female. 



Length, H-5-12'5 mm. ; breadth, 5 mm.

Type in the British Museum. 



It is very near A. cribratus and A. distinguendus, but easily 

 recognized by the sharp notch separating the two upper teeth of 

 the front tibia.

Pale yellow, with the clypeus and tarsi alone slightly reddish. 



Rather broadly ovate and depressed, with the surface shining, 

 and bearing only very sparse and minute white setae. The head 

 is granulated, but not densely, and the clypeus is semicircular. 

 The pronotum is sparingly punctured, strongly rounded at the 

 sides, with the front angles acute and the hind angles completely 

 rounded off. The elytra! costae are distinct, the intervals not 

 densely punctured and the epipleurae not evident. The pygidium 

 is clothed with moderately long erect setae. The abdominal 

 segments, except the first and last, have each a conical pro- 

 tuberance beneath in the middle. The front tibia bears three 

 sharp teeth, the second nearer to the third than to the first and 

 divided from it by an acute notch ; the longer claw is cleft in the 

 front and middle feet, and the shorter claw of the hind foot is 

 more than half the length of the longer one. The antennae are 

 10-jointed, the third to fifth joints progressively diminishing, the 

 sixth rather broad.
