elytra a somewhat smoother appearance. The legs are 

 markedly shorter thau iu triangulifer, but the tarsal claws 

 are similar, the inner division being much reduced ; the 

 median tooth on the middle tibiae is almost as long as that 

 on the front pair. 



Length 12^-13, breadth 6|^-6| mm.

^ . Pattern similar to tliat of A. delta and A. ceramodelta, 

 except that the post-humeral stripe on the elytra unites 

 broadly with the posterior angle of the pale triangle on each 

 side ; the edges of the pale markings rather ill-defined. 



Very similar in structure to A. ceramodelta^ but the 

 elytra distinctly narrower. The rostrum proportionately 

 longer and its dorsal outline less convex than in that 

 species, the length equal to that of the middle dorsal line of 

 the prothorax (4 mm.), whereas in the latter the rostrum is 

 4 mm. and the prothorax 5 mm. ; the apical margin of the 

 rostrum with a short sharp central projection, and the gense 

 produced downwards. The prothorax with comparatively 

 fine and close granulation, its dorsal front margin rather 

 strongly rounded. Scutellum broadly rounded at the apex. 

 The intervals of the elytra with low granules throughout. 

 The tooth on the middle tibi?e only slightly smaller than that 

 on the front pair, the hind pair distinctly angulate internally, 

 the apical fringe of a chestnut colour ; tarsal claws cleft, the 

 inner division very small. 



iEdeagus about half the width of that of A. ceramodelta-, 

 the spiculum fine and hair-like, more slender than in any 

 of the other species, its median width one-third of that of 

 A. ceramodelta. 



Length 13, breadth 6 mm.
