preceding ; four inner spines thick, distinctly compressed laterally, with sharply 
attenuate feebly sinuate tips ; first inner spine as long as the last of outer 
spines ; three others a little longer ; inner upper spur not much longer than the 
inner apical spine, slightly longer than a half of metatarsus, rather thick and 
compressed, feebly sinuate ; lower inner spur only a little shorter than the 
upper one and subequal to inner apical spine ; metatarsus thick ; its upper inner 
margin rounded, while the upper outer margin is sharp and armed with four

3 J (5 (tj’pe and trvo paratypes) taken at Susa, Persian Chaldea, 60mt. above 
sea-level, bj’ J. deMorgan’s Expedition, 1904 (Paris Museum ; one of paratj’pes in 
the British Museum). 
This new species belongs to small representatives of the genus and is most 
nearh' related to A. amarensis, Chopard, recently described from Meso- 
potamia but differs from it in the shape of head, clvpeus and pronotum, in the 
more heavy armure of hind tibiae, as Avell as in relative dimensions of certain 
spines and spurs of the latter. In its habitus, A. chaldea reminds more of A. 
campesiris L., while A. amarensis is a diminutive form of the type of bima- 
culata, De Geer.
