A. robustus, sp. nov. Sat elongatus, sat convexus ; supra ign\ o 

 cupreus, capite pronotoque paullo obscurioribus, antennis 

 palpisque testaceis (illarum clava et palporum labialium 

 articulo apicali obscuris); subtus obscurus vel atro cyaneus, 

 pedibus lsete cyaneis, tarsis anticis ferrugineis ceteris pice- 

 scentibus; pilis pallidis elongatis vestitus; capite fortius sat 

 crebre punctulato, inter oculos late leviter impresso ; 

 antennis prothoracem medium paullo superantibus, articulis 

 9° 10° que sat transversis 11° obovato ad apicem acuto extus 

 leviter excavato ; prothorace vix transverso, supra sparsim 

 fortius insequaliter nee rugulose punctulato, sat longe pone 

 apicem arcuatim (et mox ante basin recte) sulcato, pone 

 sulcum anticum longitudinaliter profunde breviter canalicu- 

 lato, lateribus ante sulcum anticum et inter sulcos separatim 

 rotundatis; elytris 10-seriatim foveolatis (seriebus 9 a et 10 a 

 haud carina acuta divisis), foveolis fere a basi ad partem 

 posticam tertiam continuis (hie subito desinentibus), parte 

 apicali subtiliter vix seriatim punctulata, serierum intersti- 

 tiis a foveolarum interstitiis transversis tubatis ; tibiis extus 

 longitudinaliter carinatis. Long., 4 — 4^ 1.; lat., 1J — If 1. 



This species bears much general resemblance to that which I 

 take to be A, Plutus, Chevr., but differs from it inter alia by the 

 much shorter longitudinal channel of its pronotum, by the much 

 less coarse sculpture of its elytra, and by the well-marked longi- 

 tudinal carina that traverses the whole length of the external 

 face of its tibiae.

A. mundus, sp. nov. Minus elongatus, minus convexus ; lsete 

 cyaneus, antennis palpis et tibiis tarsisque anticis testaceis, 

 tibiis tarsisque posterioribus 4 picescentibus ; pilis sat 

 elongatis fulvis vestitus \ capite crebre ruguloso, inter oculos 

 fovea profunda impresso, antennis prothoracem medium 

 paullo superantibus, articulis 9° 10° que sat fortiter trans- 

 versis 11° obovato; prothorace vix transverso, supra crebre 

 lugulose punctulato, pone apicem arcuatim (et ante basin 

 •recte) sulcato, pone sulcum anticum longitudinaliter brevis- 

 sime canaliculato, lateribus ante sulcum anticum et inter 

 sulcos separatim rotundatis ; elytris 10-seriatim foveolatis 

 (interstitio inter series 9 am et 10 am ultra elytra media haud 

 cariniformi), foveolis in parte basali obsoletis et subito ad 

 partem apicalem tertiam desinentibus, parte apicali subtiliter 

 vix seriatim punctulata, serierum interstitiis a foveolarum 

 interstitiis transversis turbatis. Long., 3 1.; lat., 1 1. 



Very closely allied to A. amabilis, Blackb., but satisfactorily 

 distinguishable by the absence of the subscutellar gibbosity on
