Short, covered mostly with greyish scales, and fasciculated 

 tubercles above ; rostrum shorter than the prothorax, compressed 

 above at the base, with a shallow excavation on each side 

 between the eye and the scrobe ; antennae scaly and setulose ; 

 second joint of the funicle half as long again as the first, and 

 equal to the three next together; prothorax short, an elongated 

 tubercle on each side anteriorly, and many small tubercles 

 towards the base ; elytra semiglobose, each with two rows of 

 large approximated tubercles, the spaces between with broadly 

 impressed punctures ; the base with a few glossy granules ; • body 

 beneath and legs scaly and setulose.

Hah. Delagoa Bay. 



Silaceous, clothed with non- approximate golden hair-like 

 scales ; head behind the eye longer than the rostrum ; antennae 

 with the first two joints much the thickest, the last before the 

 club very transverse ; the latter stout, compact, and not distinctly 

 separated from the funicle; prothorax bisinuate at the base, 

 coarsely punctured, the middle with a shallow interrupted 

 groove ; scutellum indistinct but very short and very broad ; 

 elytra subquadrate, about half as long again as broad, each with 

 four strongly marked ridges, the intervals somewhat pitted but 

 impunctate ; femora with a large triangular tooth beneath, its 

 outer edge serrated ; tibiae sinuate at the base, the anterior 

 denticulate ; body beneath ferruginous, with a few scattered 

 minute hairs. 



Quite an isolated species so far as I know, although in some 

 respects approaching A. costipennis, Fahraeus, judging from the 

 description (Coleopt. Caff'r. p. 244). It does not enter any of 

 the sixteen sections into which the genus has been divided by 

 M. Jekel (Insect. Saunders.).
