Apogonia Goedhuisi, n. sp. 



A large and robust species which is closely allied to 

 A. viridipennis Gestro from Sarawak , of which I have the 

 type before me, but still larger, measuring 16 mm. in 

 length instead of 13 mm.; moreover the elytra are not 

 green but black with a faint purplish hue, and the clypeus 

 is longer and only inconspicuously emarginate in front, 

 the sides of the prothorax are less angularly rounded when 

 viewed laterally , and the first and second elytral costae 

 are not bordered (on both sides) with a narrow slightly 

 impressed stripe , which stripes, in viridipennis , make the 

 impression of being pairs of very fine lines. 



Glabrous , glossy black , the elytra with a faint purplish 

 hue, the palpi and antennae ferruginous. 



The clypeus is broad , inconspicuously emarginate in front, 

 very broadly rounded laterally, obsoletely punctured, and 

 separated from the face by a rather indistinct suture; the 

 face rather densely covered with fine but distinct punctures. 



The prothorax strongly transverse, but little broader
