Black, moderately shining ; head punctulaied with a median broad 

 impression and a fine groove from the vertex to the centre, ocular 

 ridges much raised, prothorax thickly fringed with yellowish hairs 

 in front, very vaguely punctured, shining, the anterior angles pro- 

 jecting very much, not very convex, and distinctly marginated in 

 front and laterally ; elytra ovate not very convex, ampliated in the 

 middle, aculeated behind with the suture and six raised rugose lines 

 on each side, the 2nd, 4th, 6th, raised lines from the suture much more 

 raised, intervals very rugose, roughly foveated ; epipleurae punctulated, 

 legs very long, and very rugose. 



Probably allied to A. mxdtistriata. Haag., and not unlike in shape 

 A. boschimana. Pering., but smaller and with elytra much ampliated 

 in the middle.

Nigra,, sub-nitida, capite prothoraceque punctulatis, elytris ovalibus, 

 supra depressis, postice declivis, singulo costis sub-elevatis vige 

 serratis tribus, interstitiis sub-foveatis ; pedibus antennis tibiisque 

 rufescentibus, femoribus posticis brevibus, incrassatis. 



Long. 6-10, lat. 6-7 mm . 



Black, moderately shining, with the antennas, tibiae and tarsi 

 slightly reddish ; head finely and closely punctured, prothorax convex 

 attenuated anteriorly, with the angles not much produced, irregularly 

 covered with broad punctures ; elytra ovate, depressed on the upper 

 part, a little ampliated at about the middle and very dehiscent pos- 

 teriorly ; they have each three dorsal costas very vaguely serrated, 

 uniting at the apex of the declivity, the outer margin is crenulated, 

 the suture raised and the intervals very slightly and not deeply 

 foveated in the discoidal part, with a tendency to become granulose on' 

 tiie postical declivity ; epipleuras narrow and broadly punctured, legs 

 short with the hind femora very thick and almost club shaped. ' 



Closely allied to S. ruficornis. Sol. ; the costae of the elytra are 

 more smooth, and the intervals are not so rugose nor are they 

 granulose on the disk.
