Notwithstanding some striking points of difference, this inte- 

 resting species is clearly congeneric with, A. viridipennis (Chaud.) 

 from Singapore ; which presents a similar sparse punctuation on 

 the alternate elytral interstices and a similar outline of thorax, 

 the difference in the latter arising from the greater narrowing 

 to the anterior angles which approach close to the neck. A more 

 important difference exists in the palpi, the apical joints of which 

 are thicker, and not acuminated the labials being even dilated 

 and truncated.
