A. amoenus, Pasc. (= lateralis, Pasc.^ nec Bohem.). In some 
of the other species of the genus the males exhibit much 
more pronounced characters. Chiefly under Eucalyptus 
bark (Walker).

Mr. Walker's collection contains two species of this

Moderately elongate, narrow, almost glabrous, subopaque, the
