Feinina, : Toto nigra. 



Long. 15-18, lat. 7-9 mm . 



Elongated, black, clypeus elongated, that of the male more strongly 

 marginated than that of the female ; head and prothorax strongly 

 punctured, the latter with long greyish hairs in the male, hairless in 

 the female ; elytra plane, elongated, broadly but not deeply punctured^ 

 yellow, sometimes brick-red, with a broad sutural black band beginning 

 at or near the middle part and reaching the apex and a narrow 

 marginal band of the same colour beginning at the shoulder and 

 widening at the apex ; pectus covered with long greyish hairs ; 

 the female, a little longer than the male, is completely black, and 

 almost hairless. 



Closely allied to A. grandis, Pering., the description of which was 

 made from a female example. I have, since that time, received other 

 specimens showing slight variations, but they were all females, and it 

 is possible that A. elegans may yet prove to be , identical witk 

 A. grandis.
