APOGONIA WATERHOUSEI. 31 



punctate portion of the abdomen which is covered by the 

 elytra , is , on the sides , sharply separated from the lower 

 portion by a slightly raised line. 



The anterior tibiae are obtusely bidentate. 



Hab. Borneo: Mt. Liang Gagang (March 1894, Dr. 

 Hallier), one specimen; Smitau (July 1894, van Velt- 

 huysen) , two specimens , one of which is immature. 



I have named this species in honour of Mr. Chas. 0. 

 Waterhouse, who has given excellent descriptions not 

 only of several new Apogonia-s^ecies , but also of the types 

 of Fabricius' and of Hope's which are preserved in the 

 British Museum. 



Apogonia Süttikoferi, n. sp. 



This species belongs to the non-metallic group of Apo- 

 gonia sphaerica Burm. , heptagona Lansb. , Leeuweni Brenske 

 and Ritsemae Sharp , which group is characterized by the 

 conformation of the abdomen , this being provided along 

 the sides with a sharply raised line, separating the lower 

 portion of the abdomen from that what is covered by the 

 elytra ; moreover in this group the face is angularly sepa- 

 rated from the vertex, thus strongly contrasting, not 

 rounded, and the anterior tibiae are bidentate. 



The new species is smaller and , especially across the 

 thorax , broader than Leeuweni with which it is closely 

 allied; moreover the punctuation is more densely set, and 

 stronger on the elytra , and the sutural interstice is narrower. 



Length about 7 mm. — Glabrous, of a pitchy black 

 colour (in mature specimens) with dark red femora and 

 pale ferruginous palpi and antennae; the teeth of the 

 anterior tibiae and the tarsi are pitchy brown. 



The clypeus is obliquely narrowed and broadly emar- 

 giuate in front with the angles of the emargination rounded; 

 the punctuation on its surface is denser but not stronger 

 than that on the face; the face is angularly separated 

 from the vertex.
