utrlnque rotundato, sat fortiter punctato, punctis inter se sepa- 

 ratis ; elytris interstitiis subtiliter graniilatis. Long. 2h lin. 



Hah. Malaisia, 



Ovate, black, opaque ; rostrum not gibbous at the base, 

 coarsely punctured, the punctures uniformly separated ; an- 

 tenna black, tlie club ovate ; prothorax transverse, rounded 

 at the sides, not narrowed at the base, and comparatively 

 coarsely punctured, the punctures approximating but dis- 

 tinctly separated ; scutellum nearly round ; elytra narrowly 

 striate, the interstices flat and minutely granulate, the granules 

 few and in a somewhat irregular line ; pygidium very short ; 

 body beneath and legs sparingly punctured, each puncture 

 with a short silver hair. 



Some time ago I received several specimens of this species 

 from G. Saunders, Esq., in whose conservatory at Tunbridge 

 Wells they were found in the stems of certain orchids ; like 

 its congeners its habitat is probably some island of the Malay 

 Archipelago, It differs from A. tristis (Linn. Soc. Jouvn. 

 xii. p. 62, pi. iii. fig. 2) in the form and sculpture of the pro- 

 thorax, the granulate interstices of the elytra, &c. Mr. C 

 Waterhouse has described another species {A. aterrimus, 

 Ent. Month. Mag. vol. x, p. 226) closely allied to both, but 

 differing in sculpture, the latter having the rostrum furrowed 

 at the sides, the prothorax with glossy granules on the inter- 

 spaces between the punctures, &c. 



A cythopeus fun ereus. 



A. ovatus, niger, opacus ; elytris basi singulatim macula parva alba 

 notatis ; rostro basi fortiter gibboso ; oculis infra connexis ; 

 elytris interstitiis transversim sulcatis. Long. 2^ lin. 



Hah. Tondano. 



Ovate, black, opaque, a small white spot on each elytron 

 at the base; rostrum compressed and strongly gibbous or 

 raised at the base, and roughly granulate, the rest smooth, 

 glossy black, and nearly irapunctate ; prothorax moderately 

 transverse, closely punctured ; scutellum indistinct ; elytra 

 narrowly striate, the interstices flat and transversely sulcate ; 

 pygidium short ; body beneath and legs studded with silvery 

 hairs. 



In facies like the last, but at once differentiated by its 

 gibbous rostrum, the eyes confluent beneathj sculpture of 

 rostrum and elytra, &c. The transverse grooves on the inter- 

 stices of the elytra are apparently composed, at least in some 

 places, of two partially connected punctures.
