A. wreus by its much wider head and its prothorax scarcely at all 

 narrowed in front. From A. Lindensis it ditiers apart from 

 colour and the finer elytral sculpture by the relatively longer 

 third and apical joints of the antennae, the former being markedly 

 longer than the fourth, and tlie latter being scarcely, if at all, 

 shorter than the tenth, while in A. Lindensis of both sexes it is 

 quite evidently shorter.

The sculpture of this species is very similar to that of the 

 S. Australian insect, which I take to be A. brevicorriis, Bates, the 

 prothorax being much less closely punctured than that of any of 

 the preceding three species. From A. hrevicornis (apart from 

 size and color) it differs by its remarkable male characters. The 

 hind femora are not, strictly speaking, "toothed," but their lower 

 outline appears to be formed by tw^o lines which meet in the 

 middle in a distinct angle. It also differs from its allies in its 

 eyes being evidently more prominent.
