30 APOGONIA SÜLCATICEPS. 



scutelluni is smooth, impunctate, and of a broadly triangular 

 shape. 



The elytra are strongly punctured, with two very distinct 

 narrow costae ; the third costa is not discernible as the 

 punctures on the sides of the elytra are in regular rows. 



The propygidium is rugosely punctured ; the punctures 

 on the pygidium are large but wider apart. The punctuation 

 on the sides of the metasternum agrees with that of the 

 abdomen; the latter (with the exception of the propygidium) 

 is surrounded by a raised line. 



The anterior tibiae are minutely tridentate.

Apogonia Blanchardi^ n. sp. 



A deep black species without metallic lustre, which is, 

 according to the authentic specimens in the Paris Museum, 

 erroneously identified by E. Blanchard (Cat. Coll. Ent. 1850, 

 p. 228) as A. rauca Fabr. 



Length 9,5 — 11 mm. — Ovate, glabrous, shining black, 

 the apex of the elytra and the two basal ventral segments, 

 however, opaque ; the antennae and palpi pale ferruginous ; 

 the under surface and legs sprinkled with pale coloured 

 setae. 



The clypeus is rather long, almost regularly rounded, 

 faintly truncate in the middle, and separated from the face 

 by a distinct suture; the anterior margin is reflexed and 

 the punctuation very dense. The punctuation on the face 

 is much finer and wider apart. 



The prothorax is transverse and very convex; the pro- 

 notum very shining, its punctuation rather fine (the 

 punctures agreeing with those on the face) and remote; 

 the sides are broadly rounded just behind the middle when 

 viewed laterally; the anterior angles are acute but not 

 protruding, the basal ones obtuse ; the middle of the base, 

 just before the scutellum, is faintly raised and projects
