  they 
  have 
  along 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  and 
  under 
  the 
  humeral 
  callus 
  

   an 
  elongate, 
  raised, 
  smooth 
  area, 
  more 
  conspicuous 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  

   other 
  South 
  African 
  species 
  ; 
  the 
  three 
  first 
  intervals 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  

   are 
  sub-tectiform, 
  and 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  distinctly 
  plicate 
  transversely 
  

   owing 
  to 
  the 
  punctures 
  in 
  the 
  striae 
  being 
  transverse, 
  the 
  punctures 
  

   on 
  the 
  other 
  striae 
  are 
  deep 
  and 
  regular, 
  in 
  the 
  third 
  intervals 
  the 
  

   pluri-seriate 
  punctures 
  reach 
  only 
  to 
  about 
  one-sixth 
  of 
  the 
  length, 
  

   and 
  the 
  scutellum 
  is 
  deeply 
  and 
  closely 
  punctured 
  ; 
  pygidium 
  

   completely 
  covered 
  with 
  equi-distant, 
  closely 
  set, 
  deep 
  punctures 
  ; 
  

   anterior 
  tibiae 
  bi-dentate 
  outwardly 
  ; 
  outer 
  claws 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  and 
  

   intermediate 
  tarsi 
  very 
  broad 
  and 
  slightly 
  cleft 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  less 
  

   robust 
  and 
  more 
  deeply 
  cleft 
  in 
  the 
  female.

  Similar 
  in 
  shape 
  and 
  

   size 
  to 
  A. 
  ovampoa 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  very 
  faintly 
  aciculate 
  

   prothorax, 
  the 
  finer 
  and 
  closer 
  punctures 
  of 
  the 
  scutellum, 
  the 
  deeper 
  

   punctures 
  of 
  the 
  striae 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  the 
  three 
  first 
  intervals 
  of 
  which 
  

   are
