This species, which I have pleasure in naming after its 

 captor, is apparently near to A. (Ilabrop >da) kfiasiana, Cam. 

 [=fulvipes, (*am., Ann. & Mag, Na{, Hist. (7) xiii. p, 211, 

 1904), but may be distinguished from it by the entirely 

 black clypeus, without any keel. Cameron describes his 

 species as having the "face tuberculate in the middle " ; 

 there is no such character in A, rowlandi,
