This insect is intermediate between A. rugosus, Kirby, an<l 

 A. chloroj'i/rusj Drap., its colouring being almost that of the 

 former and its form and sculpture more those of the latter, 

 but showing an approximation to A. rugosus. The clypeus is 

 as in A. chloropyrus, but the sternal process is stronger, there 

 i8 no definite .«striation u})on the elylia, of which tlie sutural 

 angles are slightly produced and not squarely truncate, and 

 the sculptuiing ot the pygidium is only incipient.

This is a member of the section represented by A. suturalis, 

 Buisd., and A. hirsutus, Jiurm., as indicated by the hairy 

 squarely-produced clypeus of the male. It is readily distin- 

 guished, however, from these, as from all other described 

 species, by its peculiar pear-shaped outline and the pronnnent 

 costa running near and parallel to the margin of each elytron.
