 albis dense vestitus, setulis numerosis interjectis ; antennis nigris, 

 sat dense albo-pilosis ; ocuUs minusculis ; prothorace valde transverso, 

 postice paulo gradatim latiore, basin versus dente tenuato armato,

The only other described species of this genus (A. ventricosus^ 

 Boh., from the Neilgherries) is differently coloured, and has the 

 elytra shortly ovate and subglobose. 1 have another species from 

 Rangoon. 



Dystirus. 

 (Leptopinse) 

 Bostrum robustum, angulatuni, versus apicem incrassatum ; scroles 

 arcuata), infra et ab oculis dcsinentes. Scapus breviusculus ; 

 funiculus 7-articulatus, articulis quinque ultimis trausversis, 

 Bubajqualibus ; clava adnata. Oculi ovati, liberi, infra acumi- 

 nati. Frothorax transversus, utrinque calloso-dilatatus, lobis 

 ocularibus distinctis. Scutellum invisum. Mi/tra ovata, pro-

 mentis tribus intermediis sequalibus. 



This genus appears to me to be most allied to the Australian 

 Leptops, its chief differential character lying in the remarkable 

 form of the prothorax, and the club closely attached to the funicle ; 

 the elytra also have no projection or tooth at the shoulder as in 

 Leptops.

 mento squamisque griseis, unguiculis nitide nigris exeept.s, tectus ;
