APOGONIA OBERTllÜlilI. 121 



Apogonia Oberthürii , u. sp. 



Agreeing with A. neglecta Breuske ') iu shape aud ia 

 the asymmetrical emargination of the clypeus , but quite 

 distiuct by its strong punctuation and by its trideutate 

 anterior tibiae. 



Long. 8 mm. — Glabrous, black, the head, prouotum 

 and scutellum with green and coppery tinges, the an- 

 tennae, palpi and tarsi dark ferruginous. The under sur- 

 face and legs sprinkled with white bristles. 



The head large; the clypeus deeply aud asymmetrically 

 emarginate so that the left lobe is broader than the right 

 one ; the emargination forms a double curvature, viz. up- 

 ward and inward ; the anterior margin is reflexed and 

 the punctuation wider apart in the middle than at the 

 sides; the clypeus is separated from the face by a distinct 

 suture; the face is rather remotely covered with strong 

 punctures. 



The prothorax is strongly transverse, rather, remotely 

 covered with strong punctures which are somewhat closer 

 set and larger in the basal angles; the sides (viewed 

 laterally) are strongly rounded just behind the middle; 

 the basal angles are very obtuse, the anterior ones acute 

 but not prominent ; the middle-lobe of the base is broadly 

 subtruncate. The scutellum is broader than long, broadly 

 rounded at the tip, and provided with distinct punctures, 

 especially on its posterior half. 



The elytra are covered with punctures considerably 

 larger than those on the pronotum aud becoming larger 

 towards the end; those on the space between the 1^* and 

 2nd costa are larger than those between the sutural inter- 

 stice and the 1st costa; the punctures behind the shoul- 

 ders are the smallest; the interspaces between the punc- 

 tures, as well as the sutural interstices and the costae bear 

 some very minute punctures. The sutural interstices are
