  Ovate, 
  yellowish 
  testaceous, 
  head, 
  margin 
  of 
  prothorax, 
  suture 
  

   of 
  elytra 
  and 
  tarsi 
  ferruginous. 
  

  

  Length

  lin. 
  

  

  Very 
  like 
  A. 
  pallida, 
  Fabr., 
  only 
  a 
  little 
  larger. 
  The 
  yellow 
  

   colouration 
  extends 
  over 
  almost 
  the 
  whole 
  body, 
  only 
  the 
  head, 
  

   with 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  the 
  antennae, 
  the 
  dorsal 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  

   prothorax, 
  the 
  suture 
  of 
  the 
  elytra, 
  their 
  apical 
  margin, 
  and 
  the 
  

   tarsi 
  are 
  brown 
  ; 
  the 
  area 
  between 
  the 
  eyes 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  more 
  deeply 
  

   impressed, 
  and 
  the 
  prothorax 
  more 
  deeply 
  punctured 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  

   case 
  of 
  A. 
  pallida; 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  more 
  frequently 
  and 
  more 
  irre- 
  

   gularly 
  punctured, 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  intervals 
  ; 
  the 
  brown 
  colouration 
  

   of 
  the 
  suture 
  is 
  only 
  feebly 
  indicated 
  ; 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  margin 
  is 
  

   limited 
  to 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  ; 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  bi-dentate. 
  This 
  

   species 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  Sub-genus 
  Heteroplia 
  of 
  Burmeister.

  Collection, 
  of

  Germar. 
  Shorter 
  than 
  

   A. 
  vetula, 
  but 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  shape 
  ; 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  somewhat 
  broader, 
  

   and

  anterior 
  margin 
  less 
  reflexed

  club 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  very 
  

   thick 
  and 
  broad 
  ; 
  head 
  and 
  prothorax 
  finely 
  punctate, 
  the 
  former 
  

  

  pygidium, 
  which 
  is 
  only 
  aciculate 
  in 
  comparison, 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  median 
  part, 
  in 
  

   A.

  spec. 
  

   This 
  species 
  is 
  also 
  very 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  A. 
  probativa, 
  and 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  

   genital 
  armature 
  of 
  both 
  species 
  is 
  the 
  same, 
  but 
  the 
  colour 
  is 
  paler 
  and 
  the 
  body 
  is 
  

   a 
  little 
  more 
  elongate 
  in 
  proportion 
  to 
  the 
  size 
  ;

  prothorax,
