Hub. Si-Matobe. 



The coloration of this species is similar or nearly so, to se- 

 veral others placed in this genus, but the antennae differ rather 

 in being filiform and not thickened at the apical joints ; A. coc- 

 cinelloideSj, Baly also resembles the present species but differs in 

 being larger and having the thorax black, besides other parti- 

 culars.

 the surface impunctate, antennae closely approached at the base,
