  Light 
  brick-red 
  with 
  the 
  clypeus 
  a 
  little 
  darker 
  than 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  

   the 
  body. 
  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  A. 
  immatura, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  

   wider 
  in 
  proportion 
  to 
  its 
  length, 
  the 
  club 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  of 
  the 
  

   male 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  longer, 
  and 
  is 
  equal 
  in 
  length 
  to 
  all 
  the 
  other 
  joints 
  

   put 
  together 
  ; 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  clypeus 
  are 
  a 
  little 
  more 
  roughly 
  

   punctured 
  ; 
  the 
  latter 
  is 
  not 
  quite 
  so 
  long, 
  and 
  is 
  sub-truncate 
  in 
  

   the 
  anterior 
  part 
  ; 
  the 
  punctures 
  on 
  the 
  prothorax 
  are 
  more 
  distinct, 
  

   and 
  there 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  median 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  disk 
  a 
  short, 
  impressed 
  

   longitudinal 
  line 
  ; 
  the 
  scutellum 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  shorter 
  ; 
  the 
  elytra 
  in 
  

   the 
  male 
  have 
  several 
  irregular 
  rows 
  of 
  punctures 
  on 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  

   second 
  intervals, 
  but 
  they 
  are 
  normally 
  geminate 
  and 
  regular 
  in 
  the 
  

   female 
  ; 
  the 
  pygidium 
  is 
  moderately 
  closely 
  punctured 
  in 
  the 
  median 
  

   part, 
  scrobiculate 
  laterally, 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  fringed 
  with 
  hairs, 
  but 
  the 
  

   pectus 
  is 
  densely 
  clothed 
  with 
  light 
  fulvous 
  ones 
  ; 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  

   bi-dentate 
  outwardly 
  ; 
  inner 
  claw 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  tarsi 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  

   slightly 
  cleft, 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  the 
  inner 
  claw 
  of 
  both 
  the 
  anterior 
  and 
  

   intermediate 
  tarsi 
  are 
  somewhat 
  deeply 
  cleft.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  so 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  A. 
  zambesicola 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  difficult 
  

   a,t 
  first 
  sight 
  to 
  distinguish 
  it, 
  except 
  by 
  comparing 
  the 
  genital 
  

   armatures, 
  but 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  slightly 
  shorter 
  and 
  more 
  broadly 
  

   rounded 
  laterally, 
  although 
  equally 
  truncate 
  in 
  front, 
  and 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  margin 
  is 
  more 
  vertically 
  reflexed 
  ; 
  the 
  aciculation 
  on 
  the 
  

   prothorax 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  is 
  very 
  slight, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  

   denser 
  and 
  much 
  more 
  distinct 
  ; 
  the 
  intervals 
  between 
  the 
  punctate 
  

   striae 
  on 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  much 
  less 
  numerously 
  punctate, 
  and 
  the 
  

   valves 
  of 
  the 
  genital 
  armature 
  are 
  more 
  elongate, 
  more 
  sharply 
  

   acuminate 
  at 
  the 
  tip, 
  where 
  they 
  diverge 
  much 
  more, 
  and 
  have 
  on
