Til is interesting insect is nearly allied to the genus Pycno- 

 schema, but differs in many rather important features. The 

 clypeus is triangular, and not produced into a narrow rostrum 

 as in Pycno schema, and the horn of the male is absent and 

 replaced only by two slight tubercles. The form of the front 

 tibia is also quite ditferent. The antennae are very short and 

 the club not elongate in the male. The mandibles have the 

 lounded outer edge of those o'i Pycnoschema, and there is the 

 same angular process in front of the eye. The outer claw of 

 tiie front foot is reduced (no doubt in the male alone) to a 

 minute vestige. The propygidium is furnished with mode- 

 ratel}' fine and close stridulatory ridges.

 crebre et fortiter punctato, linea angusta Isevi mediana, lateribus

According to ihe. description of the typical species, A. pen- 

 todontiaus, Kolbe, this is a larger insect, more coarsely punc- 

 tured and less shining. Tlie tubercles upon the head are not 

 united by a carina and there are none behind the front margin 

 of the pronotum, although traces of these appear iu two
