Diagnosis
At my request, Mr. H. E. Andrewes was good enough to compare this species with A. foveipennis Blkb. and to send me the following note on it: "Belongs to the westwoodi group and allied to westwoodi Macl., but the following differences are apparent: form wider, antennae wider, basal joint with inside angle less prominent, 3rd joint more sharply triangular on inner side, prothorax more transverse, border wider and more reflexed towards base, basal angle obtuse, not marked, elytra more densely punctate."' As is usual in the genus, joints 3-10 of antennae of are more closely punctate towards sides, and have shorter setae.
