2. A. crassimanus, Murr. (PI. X., fig. 3.) 



Prsecedenti valde affinis, sed major et robustior, capite et 

 mandibulis grandioribus ; thorace latiore, latitudine elytris 

 equali ; scutellofortiter strigoso-punctato ; elytris fere parallelis, 

 vix postice dilatatis ; pedibus anterioribus valde incrassatis. 

 Colore testaceo, thorace macula oblonga dorsali, et duabus 

 parvis maculis rotundatis in angulis anterioribus piceis sig- 

 nato ; elytris maculis parvis humeralibus et apicalibus piceis 

 signatis. Long. 13 J lin. 5 lat. 6 lin. 



Closely allied to the preceding species. Testaceous, with 

 the back part of the head, a dorsal elongate patch and two 

 faint spots in the anterior angles of the thorax, a patch at the 

 base of the scutellum, the sutural line and the exterior mar- 

 gin, as well as a humeral and apical spot in each elytron, 

 piceous or blackish-brown. Head finely rugosely punctate, 

 projecting very much, and turned up like a sow's snout ; the 

 margins with a reflexed black border ; the mandibles project- 

 ing forward, and recurved like a boar's tusks, extending a third 

 of their length beyond the muzzle ; a curved transverse de- 

 pression between the eyes. The back part of the head 

 marked with a transverse line of black, widest in the middle. 

 Thorax, very convex when seen in profile, rising with a curve 

 both from the base and apex, widest a little before the middle, 

 broader at its widest than the elytra ; anterior angles acute 

 and produced ; posterior angles obtuse and rounded ; base bi- 

 sinuate. It has a reflexed piceous margin all round, most 

 distinct on the sides, which are so much expanded and re- 

 flexed as to leave a small gutter between the edge and the 

 body of the thorax; is covered with scattered shallow punctures, 

 and somewhat granular towards the sides. Scutellum rounded ; 

 triangular, granular, or rugosely punctate at the apex ; smooth 

 behind. Elytra with the sides nearly parallel, and scarcely 

 dilated behind the middle ; with a reflexed margin, most pro- 

 minent in the middle ; punctate striate, the strise running in 

 pairs, and the interstices irregularly punctured, as in the last 

 species. Pygidium with some longitudinal corrugations. Under 

 side of body testaceous with a testaceous pubescence, princi- 

 pally on the mesosternum. The anterior legs are very much
