GILBEET J. AEROW— COLBOPTERA. 197 



Three specimens were collected by Mr. Scott Elliot on Ruwenzori, the rest by 

 Mr. S. A. Neave. 



The species closely resembles A. natalensis Crotch. It is red, with the elytra and 

 the club of the antenna black, but the elytra are rather shorter and less shining than 

 in Crotch's species and the puncturing of the whole upper surface is a little finer 

 and closer. But the most marked distinctive feature is found in the relatively smaller 

 eyes. The head between these is much wider, its width being equal to twice that of 

 the eye, and the whole of this space is finely and evenly punctured. The antennae are 

 moderately long, with a loose and rather narrow club.
