parvum. Elytra prothorace paulo angustiora, basi supra planata. 

 Pedes loiigissimi, liueares ; femora mutica ; tibUe lore recta? ; 

 tarsi articulo basali longissimo. Pygkliuni obtectum. 



With a habit very much like that of Mecopus, this genus is 

 trenchantly differentiated by the unusual length of the an- 

 tennae — the scape alone, in (so far as I can judge) both sexes, 

 extending to the posterior border of the eye.

The addition of four new species to this genus necessitates 

 a slight modification of its characters as given by me in the 

 work above quoted. The posterior femora of these species do 

 not extend beyond the body as in the type ; and all the femora, 

 except in A. deleta, are more or less thickened towards the 

 apex ; tlie elytra, too, though still depressed, are not flattened. 

 None of these species has a trace of the bright orange of their 

 congener, A. f estiva, but are of different greys and browns, 

 with a few spots of whitish, Avhich, as in other instances where 

 these colours predominate, probably vary according to the in- 

 dividual. The forms of the femora and tibiae seem to afford 

 good characters.
