Dark, rufous, clothed with ratlwr coarse oehreous pubescence; beak lumctured, liu(;]y cariii:ite, with two striiu on each side ; lu^ul densel_y jtuuctured. Prothorax closely and coarsely punctured, wider than long, narrowed in front, and broadly rounded on tin; sides, feebly constricted near the tip. Scutellum densely [mbi'scent. Elytra at base one-half wide than the prothorax, oblong, striae distant, not deep, coarsely ])unctured, interspaces feebly punctidate, shining ; pulx'scenco condcMised so as to make a j)attern of bands curving forwards and outwards, tlie spaces near the bands being nearly glabrous. Tiiighs strongly toothed, the trout ones with a distinct acute cusp on the distal edge of the tooth ; front tibiic sinuate. Antenme with the first joint of the funiculus ccjual to the three following; second equal to the two following united. Length 4 nun.; .IT) inch. Illinois and ilissouri ; three specimens. Tlie pattern of the elytra is somewhat comi)lex, and varies with denudation, but the other characters are (juite sullicieut to enable the species to be easily recognized. 3. A. fulvus Lee , Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Pliila. 1858, 79. Texas. A large species easily recognized by the shining fulvous color, very coarse punctures of the thorax, which has a narrow dorsal line of jiubescence, and the iwttern of narrow lines of pubescence lieiiind the middle of the elytra.
