Pale testaceous, with the head between the eyes, a narrow 

 marginal line entirely encircling each elytron and a humeral 

 spot black with a metallic-green lustre in certain lights, and 

 the tarsi red. 



The form is moderately long, rather depressed and parallel- 

 sided. The head is entirely, closely and strongly punctured, 

 with the clypeus very short and the eyes large and prominent. 

 The pronotum is everywhere closely punctured, completely 

 margined, with the front angles sharp, the hind angles 

 rounded away and the base trisinuate. The scutellum is 

 irregularly punctured and the elytra are deeply punctate- 

 striate, the second stria breaking up in the anterior half. 

 The pygidium is strongly and rather closely punctured, the 

 metasternum finely punctured and thinly pubescent. The 

 front tibia is bidentate and the inner front claw cleft. 

 The club of the antenna is rather lone;. 



? . The eyes are smaller and the terminal tooth of the 

 front tibia long and blunt. 



This has the closest resemblance to A. pallida, F. (Java), 

 and still more to A. communis, Burm., but may be readily 

 distinguished by the entire absence of a third tooth to the 

 front tibia. This is also present in A. hrachypus, Bates, tlie 

 only other N. Indian species. Another closely related 

 species, A. testacea^ Bl., has bidentate front tibioe, but is a 

 more convex and cylindrical insect, with an almost smooth 

 clypeus.
