250 On Some New 



The above description is drawn from the female. The male 

 is more slender with the elytra less inflated. 



This is a very distinct species, not closely allied to any other ; 

 it should be placed near sordida and decidua, from both of 

 which it differs in its rugulosely punctate and not granulate 

 pronotum. The ocular lobes are very broad and short. 



A. §culptilis n. sp.— Elongate, convex, castaneous; legs throughout 

 pale rufous, antennae slightly darker ; rather sparsely clothed with 

 very small rounded free scales, reddish in color, with bright cupreous 

 golden reflection. Head hemispherical ; beak nearly twice as long 

 as the head, and twice as long as wide, basal impression rather 

 strong, with the surface subcylindrical, broadly and feebly tumid or 

 subcarinate toward base, the tumid portion shining and not punctate,, 

 gradually strongly dilated toward tip, where there is a median elongate 

 puncture between the bases of the antennae ; surface coarsely, deeply, 

 densely, and subrugulosely punctate, with scattered setae towards apex^ 

 sparse rounded scales betw^een the eyes, and denser elongate squamiform 

 hairs at the base ; antennae very long and slender ; first two joints of 

 funicle equal in length, seventh much longer and thicker than the sixth,, 

 obconical, much longer than wide ; club small, elongate-oval, pointed^ 

 not as long as the three preceding joints together. Prothorax as long 

 as wide ; sides parallel and very feebly arcuate, except near the base 

 and apex where they are more rapidly convergent and arcuate ; base 

 and apex broadly and extremely feebly arcuate, the former slightly the 

 wider ; disk broadly, evenly convex, coarsely, deeply, and rather 

 densely ruguloso-granulate.the granules with large setigerous punctures;, 

 surface with minute round scales, evenly and widely scattered, and with 

 short, robust, erect setae ; median impressed channel only present for a 

 short distance near the apical margin; ocular lobes broad, moderate in 

 length, densely fimbriate. Scutellum very short, broadly angulate, 

 Elytra elongate, three-fourths longer than wide, widest near the 

 middle, where they are about one-fourth wider than the prothorax ; 

 sides very broadly arcuate ; humeri very broadly rounded, obsolete ex- 

 ternally, basal angle slightly produced and acute ; base broadly emargi- 

 nate ; disk abruptly declivous at posteriorf ourth, the declivous portion 

 straight along the suture and not perpendicular, having rows of large, 

 round, very deeply impressed punctures, distant by two to three time& 

 their own width, each bearing from its internal anterior edge an ex- 

 tremely minute pale seta ; intervals alternately nearly flat and convex, 

 the convexities becoming much more prominent toward the apical decliv- 

 ity, rather densely clothed with small, round, separated scales, and short, 

 very robust, erect blackish setae not regularly arranged. Abdomen 

 rather feebly ruguloso-punctate, sparsely, finely pubescent, with a few 

 scattered squamiform hairs near the sides, impressed in the middle of 

 the base ; first suture feebly arcuate for a very short distance in the
