122 APÜGONIA OBÉRTHÜRII. 



broader than the costae; the 2"'^ costa is somewhat ob- 

 solete posteriorly; the S^^ costa is not discernible as the 

 punctures on this part of the elytra are in regular rows. 



The propygidiura is somewhat rugosely, the pygidium 

 extremely coarsely punctured. The punctuation on the 

 metasteruum agrees with that of the abdomen. 



The anterior tibiae are tridentate. 



H a b. Southern Palawan. (Mr. Rene Oberthür's collection 

 and Leyden Museum). 



Named after my friend Rene Oberthür who kindly of- 

 fered one of his two specimens of this and the following 

 species to our Museum. 



Apogonia magnifica , n, sp. 



A conspicuous species of moderate size (11—12 mm.), 

 glabrous and of a splendid bright golden green colour 

 above, body beneath and legs coppery, the former as well 

 as the propygidium sprinkled with minute white scales ; 

 the punctures on the pygidium bear a narrow white scale 

 or a bristle; the tibiae and tarsi are of a paler colour 

 than the femora. 



The clypeus is broadly but not deeply emarginate an- 

 teriorly, the sides are convergent in straight lines, the 

 front angles rounded; the surface rather densely covered 

 with deep punctures and separated from the face by a 

 distinct suture. The face remotely covered with punctures 

 which are much smaller than those on the clypeus , and 

 provided, at the middle of the base, with a shallow, more 

 or less triangular impression. 



The prothorax regularly convex, covered with punctures 

 which are as large and as widely spread as those on the 

 face; the sides (viewed laterally) are strongly rounded 

 just behind the middle, the basal angles obtuse, the ante- 

 rior ones acute and slightly prominent. The scutellum 

 almost impunctate, only with a few very fine punctures. 



The elytra are regularly convex on their anterior half,
