Niger, nitidissimus; thorace postiee utrinque creberrime subtiliter 
punctulato, lateribus rotundatis, margine ipso piceo, angnlis pos- 
ticis obtusis ; elytris vix aeneo tinctis, fortiter striatis, striis sub-

Somewhat the form of A. hinotatus , but a little less parallel 
at the sides, very shining, black, very slightly tinted with 
pitchy. Head smooth, the line separating the clypeus scarcely 
perceptible, the oblique impressions at the ends of this line 
moderately distinct. Thorax gently convex, one quarter 
broader than long, almost smooth anteriorly, all the region of 
the posterior angles densely and very finely punctured, the 
base in the middle less densely punctured; the sides are dis¬ 
tinctly more rounded than in hinotatus , especially posteriorly, 
very slightly impressed above, the impression within the pos¬ 
terior angles scarcely noticeable; the extreme margins are 
slightly pitchy, not reflexed, the posterior angles are marked, 
but are very obtuse. Elytra very little broader than the 
thorax, a little more narrowed at the apex than in hinotatus , 
very slightly tinted with aeneous, the stria? very deep, with no 
visible punctuation, the interstices distinctly convex, (when 
seen with a strong magnifying-glass) extremely delicately and 
very closely punctured. Legs pale pitchy ; the terminal spur 
to the anterior tibiae slender and simple ; the basal joint of the 
tarsi is distinctly narrower than the following, the dilated 
joints are cordiform, not so transverse as in hinotatus.

sublineato-punctatis, apice declivo, margine incrassato, callo
