cS . Elongate, subparallel ; closely allied to A. transitus, 

 Macl., but larger, more elongate. Black; clothing moderately 

 dense, subsquamose, pale golden-yellow, with silvery-white 

 vittae. White scales scanty on head: present along median 

 line and at base of sublateral vittae of prothorax ; trivittate 

 along each elytron ; on the sides clothing the head, forming 

 two broad lines on prothorax, indistinctly separated, a narrow 

 line along eighth interstice and a broader line along 

 lower border of elytra; under-surface rather thickly set with 

 broad white squames; legs densely clothed with white. 



nostrum a little narrower than the head ; dorsal surface 

 much narrower than total width of rostrum ; the external 

 borders slightly raised, continued back into the supra-orbital 

 crests ; dorsal surface with a deep, almost linear, fovea in 

 centre, and a fovea on each side of base ; the oblique ridges 

 present, but little marked off from rest of surface ; rostrum 

 limited behind by the intercristal ridge. Head concave in 

 front, behind the intercristal ridge ; supra-orbital crests short, 

 single, with the apex directed backwards and upwards. Pro- 

 thorax (5x6 mm.) rather flat on disc, with three transverse 

 impressions, a subapical, a median (indistinct in centre), and 

 a basal, the subapical impression extending backwards in the 

 median line to two-fifths* of the length of the prothorax ; ocular
