This insect is intermediate between A. rugosus, Kirby, and 
A, chloropyrus, Drap., its colouring being almost that of the 
former and its form and sculpture more those of the latter, 
but showing an approximation to 4. rugosus. The clypeus is 
as in A. chloropyrus, but the sternal process is stronger, there 
is no definite striation upon the elytra, of which the sutural 
angles are slightly produced and not squarely truncate, and 
the sculpturing of the pygidium is only incipient.

producto, quadrato, hirto, margine antica tota reflexa, feminee

leviter punctato, angulis anticis crebrius, his flavo-hirtis, acutis, 
angulis posticis fere rectis, lateribus angulatis vix arcuatis, mar-

minus), costa laterali ad marginem parallela, angulis suturalibus

This isa member of the section represented by A. suturalis, 
Boisd., and A. hirsutus, Burm., 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 prominent 
costa running near and parallel to the margin of each elytron.
