  Mentum 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  ovate 
  laterally 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  the 
  point 
  of 
  

   insertion 
  of 
  the 
  palpi, 
  parallel 
  thence 
  with 
  the 
  outer 
  angles 
  slightly 
  

   rounded, 
  and 
  the 
  apical 
  part 
  broadly 
  emarginate 
  in 
  the 
  centre, 
  it 
  

   has 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  face 
  a 
  deep 
  cordiform 
  impression 
  reaching 
  from 
  

   the 
  apex 
  to 
  somewhat 
  past 
  the 
  median 
  part, 
  and 
  the 
  non-impressed 
  

   part 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  dense 
  and 
  very 
  long 
  fulvous 
  setae, 
  the 
  apical 
  

   margin 
  has 
  a 
  few 
  short 
  setae, 
  the 
  apical 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  labial 
  palpi 
  is 
  as 
  

   long 
  as 
  the 
  two 
  preceding, 
  slightly 
  curved, 
  truncate 
  at 
  apex 
  and 
  

   occasionally 
  impressed 
  longitudinally 
  in 
  the 
  outer 
  face 
  ; 
  maxillae 
  

   armed 
  at 
  the 
  tip 
  with 
  three 
  powerful 
  hooked 
  teeth, 
  the 
  two 
  lower 
  

   ones 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  bifid 
  or 
  geminate, 
  but 
  connate 
  ; 
  the 
  basal 
  one 
  is 
  

   sometimes 
  distinctly 
  trifid 
  (A. 
  ustulata) 
  ; 
  but 
  in 
  A. 
  nigrovestita 
  the 
  

   upper 
  teeth 
  are 
  reduced 
  to 
  a 
  round 
  lobe 
  followed 
  by 
  three 
  teeth 
  

   disposed 
  transversely 
  ; 
  maxillary 
  palpi 
  moderately 
  long, 
  apical 
  joint 
  

   as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  two 
  preceding 
  taken 
  together, 
  sub-fusiform, 
  obtuse 
  at 
  

   the 
  tip, 
  and 
  slightly 
  impressed 
  laterally 
  ; 
  antennae 
  nine-jointed, 
  basal 
  

   joint 
  slender 
  for 
  half 
  the 
  length, 
  clubbed 
  thence, 
  and 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  all 
  

   the 
  three 
  joints 
  following 
  ; 
  the 
  sixth 
  joint 
  is 
  narrow, 
  transverse, 
  the 
  

   club 
  is 
  tri-jointed, 
  the 
  joints 
  somewhat 
  hairy 
  outwardly, 
  moderately 
  

   long, 
  sometimes 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  length 
  in 
  both 
  sexes, 
  sometimes 
  longer 
  

   in 
  the 
  male 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  (A. 
  zambesicola) 
  ; 
  head 
  moderately 
  

   large 
  and 
  having 
  very 
  large 
  eyes 
  divided 
  for 
  about 
  one-third 
  of 
  their 
  

   length 
  by 
  the 
  canthus 
  of 
  the 
  genae 
  ; 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  usually 
  shorter 
  

   than 
  the 
  head, 
  sometimes 
  parallel 
  laterally, 
  and 
  sub-truncate 
  or 
  

   arcuate 
  at 
  apex, 
  but 
  always 
  with 
  the 
  outer 
  angles 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  

   rounded, 
  it 
  is 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  head 
  by 
  a 
  transverse 
  impressed 
  

   line 
  reaching 
  from 
  eye 
  to 
  eye, 
  and 
  is 
  always 
  more 
  densely 
  or 
  more 
  

   rugosely 
  punctured 
  than 
  the 
  head 
  ; 
  prothorax 
  marginate 
  all 
  round, 
  

   obliquely 
  attenuate 
  laterally 
  from 
  about 
  the 
  median 
  part 
  to 
  the 
  apex, 
  

   sub-parallel 
  from 
  the 
  median 
  to 
  the 
  basal 
  part, 
  where 
  it 
  is, 
  however, 
  

   always 
  slightly 
  broader 
  than 
  across 
  the 
  median, 
  the 
  basal 
  angles 
  

   without 
  being 
  sharp 
  are 
  well-defined, 
  the 
  surface 
  is 
  somewhat 
  

   convex 
  but 
  very 
  sloping 
  in 
  front, 
  the 
  base 
  is 
  bi-sinuate, 
  and 
  along 
  the
