  This 
  species, 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  identify, 
  should 
  come 
  

   in 
  the 
  same 
  group 
  (Hoplopus) 
  as 
  A. 
  vetula, 
  which 
  group 
  comprises 
  

   all 
  the 
  species, 
  the 
  male 
  of 
  which 
  has 
  the 
  claws 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  and 
  

   intermediate 
  tarsi 
  simple.

  This 
  species 
  exactly 
  resembles 
  the 
  preceding 
  one 
  in 
  size 
  and 
  

   colouration, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  less 
  distinct 
  puncturation,, 
  

   the 
  narrower 
  emargination 
  of 
  the 
  prothorax, 
  the 
  paler 
  colour 
  of 
  the 
  

   middle 
  tibiae, 
  and 
  the 
  less 
  abundant 
  pubescence 
  upon 
  the 
  sternum.

  a 
  fleshy 
  colour 
  in 
  the 
  centre, 
  is 
  opaque, 
  and 
  so 
  is 
  the 
  scutellum 
  ; 
  the 
  punctures 
  

   on 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  less 
  deep 
  ; 
  the 
  female 
  only 
  has 
  all 
  round 
  the 
  pygidium 
  a 
  

   conspicuously 
  dense 
  fringe 
  of 
  very 
  long, 
  pallid 
  hairs, 
  and 
  the 
  propygidium 
  is 
  also

  briefly 
  pubescent 
  ;
