Seven new Species of Apion. T sg 
Troncus cylindricus, capite vix latior, levissimó punc- 
tulatus, ante scutellum fossulä satis impressá notatus. 
Femora omnia cum trochanteribus, item Cove anteriores - 
duz, flavo-testacea. Tibie antice rufze basi dilutiores, 
posteriores quatuor nigro-picee basi annulo flavo-testa- 
ceo. Tarsi nigri. Coleoptra subglobosa sive ex glo- 
boso ovata, gibba, striata: striis subpunctatis. ! 
This species should be placed after A. flavifemoratum (Linn. 
Trans. ix. 42. 23.) to which it is very nearly related: it is however 
quite distinct, and may always be known by the very slight puncta- 
tion of its trunk,and the deep fossula just above the scutellum. The 
rostrum also is thicker than even that of the male of the species 
just referred to, and the little furrows too between the eyes afford 
a good character. I think it was taken, but am not quite certain, 
in the parish of Wittersham in the Isle of Ozney in Kent, a spot 
which abounds with insects, particularly Hymenoptera. 3
