on either side. Elytra broader than the thorax, rather broadly

Hal. Aru Islands ; New G-uinea, Dorey ; Ceram ; Ke Islands 
{Wallace). 
Antennae slender, filiform, black, more or less piceo-fulvous at 
the base. Thorax more than half as broad again as long ; sides 
obliquely diverging from the base to beyond the middle, sub-

Closely allied to A. alhofasciatct, smaller and the male broader 
than that species, its eyes less prominent ; the coloration of the 
legs varies greatly in degree.
