This species is very peculiar from its smooth shining upper 
surface and very long narrow form, due to the elongation of 
the elytra, the head and prothorax being very short. Its 
nearest ally seems to be A. coriacea, Wat., but it is smaller, 
much more elongate, and light brown in colour, with the 
tibia and the hinder part of the head dark. The punctura- 
tion is deep, though rather scanty. The legs are long and 
slender, the front tibia armed with three teeth, of which the 
uppermost is small and rather remote from the other two, 
which are close together, blunt, and not long. 
There is considerable difference between the sexes. The 
male has the eyes larger and more prominent, the clypeus 
narrower and more strongly emarginate, the tarsi longer and 
more hairy and the front ones dilated. The abdomen is 
contracted beneath in this sex, the pygidium ventral in 
position and very protuberant.
