  the

  is 
  sprinkled 
  over 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  greenish 
  blue 
  

   scales 
  ; 
  the

  black 
  hairs 
  inter- 
  

   mingled 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  white, 
  bristly 
  ones, 
  and 
  have 
  here 
  and 
  there 
  

   scattered 
  bluish 
  scales 
  which, 
  however, 
  are 
  denser 
  along 
  the 
  outer 
  

   margin, 
  and 
  also 
  in 
  the 
  depression 
  between 
  the 
  suture

  the 
  

   humeral 
  costa

  the 
  propygidium, 
  the 
  pygidium, 
  and 
  the 
  abdomen

  clothed 
  with 
  similar 
  scales 
  which 
  are 
  not, 
  however, 
  quite 
  

   contiguous 
  on 
  the 
  pygidium, 
  which 
  is 
  clothed 
  with 
  black 
  and 
  white 
  

   long 
  hairs; 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  allied 
  to 
  A. 
  ursus, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  smaller, 
  the 
  

   clypeus 
  is 
  narrower, 
  but 
  equally 
  long 
  and 
  also 
  incised 
  at 
  tip 
  ; 
  the 
  

   villosity 
  is 
  similar, 
  and 
  the 
  anterior 
  tibia 
  are 
  more 
  distinctly 
  tri- 
  

   dentate.
