 diocres, mediae, attenuate: clava elongatiuscula. Oculi 

 subimmersi. 

 Truncus angustus, brevis, fere eylindricus, excavato- 

 punctatus, dorso postice vix, ac ne vix, canaliculatus. 

 Scutellum minutissimum. Coleoptra subglobosa, amoe- 

 ne caerulea, subsulcata : sulculis jucunde punctatis ; 

 interstitiis planiusculis. 

 Obs.— Thorax interdum postice magis conspicue canaliculatus. 



Var. j3. Elytris sulcorum interstitiis convexis. 



y. Thorace fossula aut line& nulla exarato. 



§. Capite inter oculos trisulco. 



Herbst's figure makes the rostrum longer than it is in our spe- 

 cimens ; on this account I have added a mark of interrogation 

 to his synonym, /g. may be distinct, but it differs in nothing but 

 the convexity of the interstices of the stria. I took o upon the 

 bean ; it may perhaps be distinct, but it differs in scarcely any 

 point, except the furrows between the eyes. 



27. APION FOVEOLATUM. 



A* atrum glabrum, coleoptris subglobosis caeruleis, rostro me- 

 diocri, fronte impressa striata, thorace canaliculato.
