colour — the elytra pale testaceous-brown, with a blackish vitta 

 commencing on each shoulder and gradually widening hindward 

 till the two combine and fill up all the apex. The labrum and 

 clypeus are deeply and pretty closely punctured, the back of the 

 head and the prothorax finely and closely but not deeply. The 

 prothorax has a wide impression down the middle and a small 

 one close to the base on either side. The elytra are punctulate- 

 striate, the interstices jDunctured. 



This species is extremely like the S. Australian one referred to 

 above, but differs from it in the male having all the joints 3-11 

 of the antennae subparallel and but little compressed (8-10 shorter 

 than the rest, 11 longer), except the seventh joint, which is 

 strongly compressed and evidently arcuate, with its external apex 

 produced in a short spine; joints 8-10 area little narrower as. 

 well as shorter than 3-6, and 9-10 are a trifle narrower than 8 ; 

 joint 3 is distinctly shorter than 4. In the female joints 3-11 are 

 very uniform. The maxillary palpi of the male set back reach 

 the prothorax.

This species scarcely differs from A. nodlcornis except in its 

 black antennae and palpi and in the different structure of the 

 male antenn?e. The basal joint of the antennae is red and the 

 second reddish.
