Allied to A. maculata Jord. (1895), but the lateral dorsal black stripe of the 

 pronotum interrupted in the centre, the elytra less depressed at the suture, and 

 their black markings more numerous and more confluent, there being no conspicuous 

 oblique black half-moon before the declivous apex as in maculata. The meso- 

 metasterna and the abdomen are laterally spotted with pale ochraceous.

 The pronotum is very distinctly impressed longitudinally, and the centre raised 

 above the level of the impressions, there being no punctures on this elevated 

 portion. The dorsal carina is so much curved backwards centrally that the sub- 

 basal cannula is joined to it, whereas in A. transversus Oliv. (1795) = gracillima 

 Pasc. (1859) the carina is farther from the basal edge and the cannula remains 

 separate. Moreover, the pronotum of A. transversus is conspicuously punctate- 

 granulate nearly all over and somewhat rugulose in places. The basal callosities of 

 the elytra are very distinct in vicina, and the suture is depressed from the base 

 to the apical declivity ; on the limbal area the brown pubescence prevails ; the 

 postmedian velvety spot does not reach the suture, but the sutnral interstice is 

 more or less brown in this region.

<? $ . Ab A. vicina prothorace trivittato, pronoto baud longitudinaliter impresso 

 atque omnino sat sparsim minute granulato-punctato, elytris fortius striato-punctatis, 

 pone basin multo minus elevatis, macula postmediana communi nigra ad suturam 

 non interrupta distinguenda.

The prothoracic stripes are not interrupted. The pronotum is only depressed 

 in front of the carina, the longitudinal depressions so conspicuous in A. vicina being- 

 absent. The small dispersed granules are distinct in the ¥ , whereas in the c?, 

 whose pronotum is somewhat soiled, they are barely visible. The carina approaches 

 the base as much as in A. vicina. The basal callosities of the elytra are not nearly 

 so elevate as in A. vicina, the suture is less depressed, and the stripes of punctures 

 are coarser. There is a rather large black elongate spot on the basal callosity, and 

 between it and the postmedian patch several smaller spots, of which an elongate 

 irregular spot near the suture is the largest. A round impressed spot at one-third 

 •of the lateral margin likewise black, as are also a shoulder spot and some spots in
