The clypeus is short, with strongly reflexed margins, and 

 broadly rounded at the sides. The pronotum is lightly 

 punctured, strongly rounded at the sides, with the front 

 angles acute and the hind angles rounded, and the base 

 margined and slightly prominent in the middle. The 

 scutellum is lightly punctured and scarcely angulated at the 

 apex. The elytra are deeply striated, with the stride closely 

 punctured, the subsutnral one broken up at the base and 

 the interstices very smooth and rather convex. The pygidium 

 is finely but rather deeply jjunctured, and the metasternum 

 closely punctured and thinly hairy. The front tibia is 

 strongly bidentate and the larger claw of the front tarsus 

 cleft. 



The antennal club is long in the male and the inner front 

 claw a little dilated. 



Ceylonese specimens in the British Mu>eum are from two 

 different sources, but the precise locality has not been 

 recorded. A single male was found by Sir. T. 11. Bell in 

 Madura. 



It is a larger and more robust and convex insect than 

 A. tesiacea, Bl., and distinguished also by its red head and 

 hind tibite. The general colour is very pale and the abdomen 

 of the dry specimens is peculiarly transparent. The oedcagus 

 of the male is exceptionally short and simple in shape.
