This species appears to differ from A. stenostic/ma, Thorns., in 

 little but the very distinctly trans-carinate front coxae, which 

 feature allies it more closely with A. anxium, Wesin. ; it is, how- 

 ever, much larger than either. 



The typical 6 was captured in " India " by Capt. Boys.

Type in the Brussels Museum. 



The variety rvjicoxis, Szepl. * differs in having the pale spots 

 on the vertex wanting, and this form occurs also in India. 



* Sz^pligeti's mode of synonymy in tbe " Genera Insectoruin " is distinctly 

 curious. He places (/. c. 1905, fasc. xxxir, p. 17) this variety under both 

 Agrypon rubricatmn, FOrst. and A. varitarsvm, Wesm. ; he gives Forster's 

 species as good, at the same time terming it a variety of Wesmael's.
