Like a large edition of the next species, A. ensata, but the procephalic horn is 
stouter at the tip, and the whole front is black ; the pronotal ridge also is straight 
to the apex ; the tegmina are ferruginous brown, except at their tips, which are 
hyaline ; the neurafion is reddish. Fowler says this insect is allied to A. tenuicornis 
of Walker from the Valley of the Amazons.

Fowl. l.c. Tab. V. figs. 14, 14a, p. 68. 
The shining black clavate pronotal horn will mark the characters of this species. 
Individuals vary much as to size. Seen from the hack, the horn is sharp, but it is 
broad between the shoulders ; colour ferruginous, surface punctured ; the tegmina 
dark at their bases, but ferruginous-hyaline at their tips. 
Size, 9 x 3 mm. 
Habitat. —Bugaba, Panama.
