Mr. Kirby on Herbst's Genus Apion. 25 



7. APION ONONIS. 



A. atrum piloso-subincanum, antennis totis nigris, fronte stria- 

 tula, thorace canaliculate), coleoptris subglobosis. 



Long. Corp. 14. lin. 



Habitat in Anglia? Onone. Julio mense 1806 frequens. Mus. 

 D. Spence. Nostr. 



DESCR. CORPUS atrum, ex pilositate subincanum, obscurius- 

 culum. 



Caput longum satis, inter oculos striatulum. Rostrum 

 sublongius, filiforme. Antenna mediae, sublongiores, 

 tota3 nigrae. Oculi subprominuli. 

 Tiiuncus fere cylindricus, angustus, dorso canaliculatus. 

 Scutellum minutissimum. Coleoptra ex oblongo globosa, 

 sulcato-striata: striis punctatis; interstitiis planiusculis. 

 Obs.— Maris rostrum brevius, paulo crassius, magis pilosum. 



This species resembles the two preceding in almost every re- 

 spect, except the colour of its antenna?, which are entirely black. 

 Since, however, it inhabits a different plant (It is never found 

 upon Lathyrus pratensis, nor, vice versa, Ap. Ervi and Latlujri 

 upon Ononis), I think I am justified in giving it as a distinct 

 species.
