  shape 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  is 
  also 
  that 
  of 
  A. 
  dita, 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  conspicuous 
  

   smooth 
  callus 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  at 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  base, 
  

   the 
  first 
  three 
  dorsal 
  intervals 
  are 
  not 
  so 
  sharply 
  costiform, 
  all 
  the 
  

   punctures 
  of 
  the 
  striae 
  are 
  much 
  shallower 
  and 
  rounder, 
  especially 
  

   on 
  the 
  first 
  three 
  dorsal 
  ones 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  intervals 
  

   the 
  pluri-seriate 
  punctures 
  reach 
  to 
  about 
  the 
  median 
  dorsal 
  part 
  ; 
  

   the 
  pygidium 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  colour 
  as 
  the 
  elytra 
  and 
  deeply 
  and 
  

   closely 
  punctate 
  ; 
  the 
  pectus 
  is 
  moderately 
  densely 
  pubescent 
  ; 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  tibiae 
  are 
  bi-dentate 
  ; 
  the 
  inner 
  claw 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  and 
  

   intermediate 
  tarsi 
  are 
  deeply 
  cleft 
  in 
  both 
  sexes, 
  but 
  the 
  former 
  in 
  

   the 
  male 
  is 
  not 
  broad.

  Extremely 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  A. 
  caffra 
  ; 
  the 
  colour 
  is 
  the 
  same, 
  

   although 
  a 
  little 
  more 
  greenish, 
  but 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  and 
  femora 
  are 
  of 
  

   the 
  same 
  colour 
  as 
  the 
  upper 
  side 
  ; 
  the 
  punctures 
  on 
  the 
  prothorax 
  

   are 
  round 
  but 
  a 
  little 
  more 
  closely 
  set, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  elytra 
  the 
  fifth 
  

   punctate 
  stria 
  is 
  obliterated 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  about 
  the 
  median 
  

   part. 
  This, 
  however, 
  may 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  accidental. 
  The 
  main 
  dis- 
  

   tinctive 
  characters 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  much 
  broader 
  outer 
  claw 
  of 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  tarsi, 
  which 
  is 
  very 
  deeply 
  cleft 
  in 
  the 
  inner 
  side 
  in 
  the 
  

   male 
  (the 
  intermediate 
  one 
  is 
  also 
  very 
  deeply 
  cleft, 
  but 
  is 
  not 
  

   broad), 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  genital 
  armature 
  of 
  the 
  male, 
  the 
  

   clasps 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  less 
  elongate, 
  more 
  sloping, 
  and 
  the 
  lower 
  

   process 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  very 
  much 
  longer 
  and 
  curves 
  upwards.

  A.

  a

   very 
  variable
