passing apex of abdomen, corium and clavus finely rugulose. 

 Abdomen as broad as the closed elytra, parallel from its base

 than the other joints together.

Palawan, Puerto Princesa. 



Allied to A. borneensis Dist., but smaller, with more separated

 margin of prosternum and margins of all acetabula grayish 

 white, metasternal orificia and abdomen fulvous; antennae, ros-

 slightly narrower than humeral width of pronotum, vertex with 

 a longitudinal median groove much narrower than the space 

 between the ocelli and terminated on each side by a small oblong 

 tubercle, ocular peduncles short, directed outward, ocelli very 

 slightly more distant from each other than from the eyes, an- 

 tennae constructed as in A. lividiventris, rostrum about reaching 

 hind coxse. Pronotum moderately declivous, with both lobes in 

 the same plane, somewhat narrowed from base to apex, the 

 transverse impression rather shallow, lateral margins a little 

 sinuate in the middle, anterior lobe with two impressed, strongly 

 divergent, levigate lines beginning not far from each other near 

 the base of the lobe and running toward the apical angles, but 

 not reaching them, posterior lobe three times longer than the 

 anterior one, sparsely but rather coarsely punctate Scutellum, 

 elytra, abdomen, and metatarsus of hind legs as in A. lividiventris. 



Length (exclusive of membrane), female, 4.8 to 4.9 milli-
