fovea-like impression in front of the base. The elytra are red- 

 dish, their punctuation well marked only at the base. The 

 hind body is furnished with rather numerous and long erect 

 setae » (Sharp). 



Obgleich M."" Sharp sagt, das Halsschild habe eine breite 

 Grube vor der Basis, so wird dies jedenfalls nicht als ein Quer- 

 eindruck langs dcr Basis zu betrachten sein.

« The antennae are moderately long, distinctly longer than 

 the head , slender at the base , rather stout at the abruptly trun- 

 cate extremity. The head is long, the eyes placed at a consi- 

 derable distance from its hind part. The thorax is a little broader 

 than long, very slightly narrowed and rounded at the front 

 angles. The setae of the upper surface are very short and fine 

 and sparing, and the surface is therefore more shining than in 

 the other species here described. The extremely prominent me- 

 tasternum is remarkable » (Sharp). 



Demnach wiirde A. gibbulus von Kingius dadurch unterschie- 

 den sein, dass bei ersterem nur die Basis der Fliigeldecken 

 deutlich punctirt ist und das Metasternum scharf hervorragt. 

 Auch die Gròsse ist zu beachten. Die Worte in der Diagnose: 

 ante basin impresso — sprechen deutlich einen Quereindruck aus.
