Tills species has a veiy distinctive aspect, owing to its 

 el(ino;ate form. It is small and of a uniformly pale colour, 

 and has the head and thorax closely punctured and not at all 

 shining, the elytra rugose and closely pubescent, and the 

 abdomen finely pubescet)t, but more shining than the rest of 

 the body. TluMe are two minute black spots at the posterior 

 ]iart of the head, symmetrically placed, but perhaps not con- 

 f^tant. The first three joints of the antennae are elongate and 

 the remainder rather short and equal. Tlie head is dilated 

 behind, but not very strongly, the ])rothorax is distinctly 

 narrowed in front, and the scutellum is very large, occupying 

 at the base fully a third of the breadth of the insect from 

 shoulder to shoulder. The elytra, beneath wliich there are no 

 wings, are not elongated in proportion to the rest of the body. 

 The legs and antennte are shorter than in most of the species, 

 but hardly as short as in A. Gahani^ Fauvel.

This is like A. Jtlskii, Solsky, Ijut rather larger. The 

 head is relatively larger, the prothorax more circular, with 

 the sides more curved, the posterior angles less apparent, and 

 the surface less punctured and more shining. The scutellum
