 This is closely related tQ A. ceneiventtis Fairm. The size and general aspect are 

 almost the same, but the pronotum is rather shorter and less tapering in front, the 

 striation of the elytra is stronger and coarser, the front tibia roore strongly toothed and 

 less produced at the extremity. The most peculiar and interesting characteristic of 

 the species is the difference of coloration in the two sexes. The elytra of the male 

 are black, and those of the female brown, the rest of the body in both being dark 

 metallic green-black.

This is a common and widespread species, having been taken by A. E. Wallace 

 and other collectors as well as by the present Expeditions. It is a member of the 

 great group of green species represented by A. ferplexa Hope, A. jndchripes 

 Lansb., A. seticrus Ohaus, etc. Its most distinctive feature is the pygidium, which 

 is conspicuously, but not densely, pubescent and yellowish in colour, with a dark green 

 border completely encircling it, and a narrow tapering median stripe extending from 

 base to apex, so that two pear-shaped yellow patches are left. In the male the 

 pubescence is short and the surface finely and closely rugose ; in the female it is long 

 and the surface closely striolated and shining. 



By the kindness of Professor O. Taschenberg, I have been able to examine 

 Burmeister's type in the Halle Museum.
