180 Mr. G. Lewis on 
Oblong-ovate, very flat, black, shining; the head im- 
pressed anteriorly, with two very faint frontal striz, surface 
faintly punctulate; the thorax arched at the sides, with a 
very fine marginal stria and a lateral border of clear but 
somewhat confluent punctures; the elytra with only one 
short stria visible at the base, which has an apical appendage 
of its own length; the propygidium with two apical impres- 
sions and sparsely encircled with large and small punctures ; 
the pygidium is folded underneath and only the base is 
narrowly seen from above, smooth at the base, apex punctured 
transversely in the middle, and carinate on either edge before 
the apex; the fourth and fifth abdominal segments are swollen 
at their lateral edges, especially the fourth, which can be seen, 
when viewed from above, projecting beyond the propygidium ; 
the prosternum widens out at the base in a hatchet-shaped 
outline, but the mesosternum can hardly be said to be sinuous ; 
the anterior tibize are 3-dentate, and all the tarsi are hirsute 
beneath. 
The abdominal segments in the above species project on a 
somewhat similar plan to those of Trypeticus cinctipyqus, 
Mars.

L. 3 mill. 
This species is extremely like A. afra, Lew., but the differ- 
ences above are that the head is clearly, not densely punctured, 
the punctures being round and clearly separate one from 
another, fairly thickly but not densely set; the thorax is 
somewhat sparsely punctured at the sides and but micro- 
scopically strigose, and on the disk the punctuation becomes 
evanescent; the fifth dorsal stria is apical, punctiform, and 
almost obsolete. In A. afra, Lew., the sculpture on the head 
and anterior area of the thorax is so dense that it gives the 
appearance of opacity. The pygidium in A. consobrina has 
larger punctures, which are therefore clearer and more distinct. 
Beneath, the anterior lobe of the prosternum in A. consobrina 
is very distinctly punctured, in A. afra the punctuation is 
somewhat obscure. I do not see any other differences ; both 
species agree in size, colour, and dorsal stri.
