3 with three inconspicuous pores, surface smooth, a little 

 more shiny than head and prothorax. Underside smooth, 

 mctepisterna elongate. Upper surface of tarsi with two 

 grooves, separated by a tine ridge ; on the protarsi the 

 grooves are less impressed and visible only on joints 1-2. 



Very similar in form to A. chmensis, Boh., but a good 

 deal smaller and rather more elongate, the legs and base 

 of antennse darker. Head similar ; prothorax less evenly 

 rounded at sides, which are morereflexed behind, the angles 

 a little more evident ; elytra distinctly narrower, with less 

 rounded sides, the punctured striae exactly similar ; tarsi 

 furrowed in just the same way.

 than head and very little wider than long, contracted about 

 equally at extremities, but widest at apical fourth, sides of 

 base oblique, apex emarginate at middle, sides lightl}^ rounded 

 and gently sinuate behind, hind angles only a little more 

 than right, a slight notch in front of them, where the hind 

 setiferous pore is placed ; median line, basal impression, and 

 fovcae all moderately deep, surface moderately shiny, finely
