About equal in size to Anthr. albinus , L., but resembling, in its short 
and convex shape and the position of the antennae, the genus Arceocerus. 
Head subquadrate, extended behind the eyes, indexed, convex ; fore¬ 
head somewhat narrowed by the eyes ; behind finely—in front coarsely— 
punctate, covered with fuscous pile, scattered with fulvous hairs, condensed 
round the eyes and in the middle of the forehead. Eyes small, subovate, 
emarginately truncate anteriorly ; two-thirds of their transverse diameter 
being above, although hut slightly narrowing the forehead. Rostrum 
transverse, subquadrate, much shorter than the head ; apex sinuately trun¬ 
cate ; punctate-rugulose; clothed like the head. Labrum raised at the 
apex, dark rufous. Mandibles black, exserted. Palpi rufous ; the maxil¬ 
lary darker. Antennae rufous; the two basal joints and the club darker, 
the latter tomentose. 
Thorax subconic, wider than long; base sinuated ; posterior carina 
perpendicularly placed above it, applied to the elytra; its middle produced 
in an obtuse angle, emarginate near the lateral angle, which is acute, then 
directed upwards for more than one-third of the length, where it ends 
slightly dilated at the sides, which are thence obliquely narrowed to 
the apex, which is not half the width of the base, and subtruncate ; upper 
side convex, slightly depressed in the middle, with a longitudinal thin and 
shallow canal, obsoletely terminated at the base and apex; closely punc¬ 
tate-rugulose ; covered with fuscous pile, mixed with flavescent fulvous,
