margined all roiuid and gently rounded at the sides. The 

 seutelluni is finely punetureil. Tlie elytra are dee|)ly 

 punetate-striate, the second stria dividing in the anterior 

 half. The pygidium and metasternum are ratlier strongly 

 and closely punctured. The front tibia is 3-dentate, but the 

 uppermost tooth is very feeble. The larger claw of the front 

 foot only is cleft. 



S . The club of the antenna is rather long. 



This species bilongs to the pallida group, and is closely 

 allied to A. walkeri. Arrow, also a Ceylouese species, which 

 is smaller and devoid of the black markings of A. yravida. 

 It is still more like the South-Indian A. communis, Burm., 

 but larger, with the eyes ratlier smaller and the clypeus less 

 narrow.

Testaceous, with the head, the prouotum (except an 

 irregular outer margin, and generally a very narrow median 

 line), the scutellnm, and the basal and sutural margins of the 

 elytra (dilating around the scutelhira) black or brown. The

 reddish. The body is moderately elongate, rather parallel- 

 sided, and depressed. The head is strongly punctured, tlie

 nearly straight in the middle. The eyes are large and the 

 antennae long. The prothorax is moderately finely and 

 closely punctured. The lateral margins are strongly and 

 regularly curved, the front angles acute, and the hind angles 

 not distinct. The seutelluni is minutely punctured and the 

 elytra strongly punctate-striate, the second stria being 

 disrupted at the base and the fifth and eighth generally more
