antennai more than lialf the length of tlie body, shghtly thicker 

 outwards, glossy cop])er at the base, gradually becoming ferru- 

 ginous and opaque, tliird joint nearly as long as the next two

 and somewhat semicircular. Length 5^ lines. 



Differs from A. cisteloides, Er. {?A. heloj)oides, Boisd.), iyifer 

 alia, in its longer antennte, and in the greater breadth of the 

 base, and the produced posterior angles of the prothorax.

 A. cuprcum, subnitidura ; prothorace crcberrime punctato, punctis

 angles not produced, base emarginate, rather close to and 

 slightly overlapping the elytra, closely and minutely punc- 

 tured, a few large punctures irregularly dispersed among them ; 

 scutellum very short and transverse ; elytra obovate, irregu- 

 larly seriate-punctate, punctures small, not crowded, the inter-

A distinct species ; in the closeness of its prothorax to the
