Coppery, with the elytra cliestuut, slightly metallic, tlie 

 sides of the pygidium and of the abdominal segments having 

 more or less distinct paler spots, those on the pygidium 

 generally uniting to form a wavy line. The sternum is 

 tliickly clothed with long tawny hairs, and there are a few 

 similar hairs on the vertex of the head and the apex of the 

 pygidium. 



The body is slightly elongate, broadest near the extremity, 

 and convex. The head is densely rugose and opaque, and 

 the clypeus transverse with the front margin gently rounded. 

 The pronotum is completely margined and minutely punc- 

 tured, the punctures being fairly close in the middle and 

 rather dense at the sides. The lateral margins are obtusely 

 angulated in the middle, the hind angles are sharp, and the 

 base is trisiimate. The scutellum is finely punctured and 

 has a short linear impression on each side. Each elytron 

 has a deep sutural stria and four paired striae enclosing 

 elevated costee, and the intervening spaces are flat and 

 strongly and irregularly punctured. The pygidium is finely, 

 and at the sides densely and rugosely, punctured. The 

 mesosternura is not produced, the front tibia is bidentate, 

 and the larger claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. 



The male is rather less elongate than the female, the front 

 tibial teeth are sharper, the front tarsus thickened and its 

 larger claw broad and abruptly bent. The longer spur of tho 

 hind tibia is slender and clubbed at the end. 



This species, although different in colour and in the sculp- 

 ture of the elytra, has evidently a peculiarly close relationship 

 to A. anthracina^ the pale marks upon the pygidium and the 

 curiously-shaped spur of the hind tibia of the males being 

 identical in the two.
