180 Mr. G. Lewis on 



Oblong-ovate, very flat, black, shining ; the head im- 

 pressed anteriorly, with two very faint frontal striae, surface 

 faintly punctulate ; the thorax arched at the sides, with a 

 very fine marginal stria and a lateral border of clear but 

 somewhat confluent punctures ; the elytra with only one 

 short stria visible at the base, which has an apical appendage 

 of its own length ; the propygidium with two apical impres- 

 sions and sparsely encircled with large and small punctures ; 

 the pygidium is folded underneath and only the base is 

 narrowly seen from above, smooth at the base, apex punctured 

 transversely in the middle, and carinate on either edge before 

 the apex ; the fourth and fifth abdominal segments are swollen 

 at their lateral edges, especially the fourth, which can be seen, 

 when viewed from above, projecting beyond the propygidium ; 

 the prosternum widens out at the base in a hatchet-shaped 

 outline, but the mesosternum can hardly be said to be sinuous ; 

 the anterior tibiae are 3-dentate, and all the tarsi are hirsute 

 beneath. 



The abdominal segments in the above species project on a 

 somewhat similar plan to those of Trypaticus cinctipygus, 

 Mars.

punctato-strigoso. 

 L. 3 mill. 



This species is extremely like A. afra, Lew., but the differ- 

 ences above are that the head is clearly, not densely punctured, 

 the punctures being round and clearly separate one from 

 another, fairly thickly but not densely set ; the thorax is 

 somewhat sparsely punctured at the sides and but micro- 

 scopically strigose, and on the disk the punctuation becomes 

 evanescent ; the fifth dorsal stria is apical, punctiform, and 

 almost obsolete. In A. afra, Lew., the sculpture on the head 

 and anterior area of the thorax is so dense that it gives the 

 appearance of opacity. The pygidium in A. consohrina has 

 larger punctures, which are therefore clearer and more distinct. 

 Beneath, the anterior lobe of the prosternum in A. consobrina 

 is very distinctly punctured, in A. afra the punctuation is 

 somewhat obscure. I do not see any other differences ; both 

 species agree in size, colour, and dorsal stride.
