Diagnosis
Compared with type of A. elongatulus MacL, the size is larger and more robust, antennae wider, less depressed above and below, more coarsely punctate, posttibiae not truncate at apex, but obliquely produced to outer angle. Allied to A. macleayi Don., but differs by size larger, proportionally longer, punctures of head, prothorax and elytra stronger. I do not think it is A. spliinx Kolbe, since the posterior angles of prothorax are not "obtuse subrectis", it is not setose enough, also too small. Type in Collection of Division of Economic Entomology, Canberra.
