This species is unknown to me, the above description being trans¬

of the prothorax. 
A. fulvipes Putz. —Black, shining, palpi, antennae and legs ru¬

riorally and posteriorly. Anterior angles somewhat prominent, but

The description is translated from Putzeys. The Pennsylvania 
specimens sent as this species have the thoraxic margin somewhat sinuate

The female is broader and less shining than the male, and the sides 
of the thorax are more rounded.

Head smooth, frontal impressions moderate, antennae pale rufous. 
Thorax one-half broader than long, sides moderately arcuate in front,
