APOGON'IA MAGNIFICA. 123 



flattened ou the declivous posterior portion, which makes 

 the apical callus very conspicuous. The punctures on the 

 elytra are somewhat larger than those on the pronotum, 

 but likewise wide apart; the two costae are rather ob- 

 solete, the first is broader than the second especially 

 towards the end, and both have some fine punctures 

 along the middle; along the sides are five rows of punc- 

 tures (the 5th is marginal) and on the interstices between 

 them a row of finer punctures is present; on the most 

 lateral interstice these punctures are somewhat larger. 



The propygidium is shallowly and very regularly punc- 

 tured, the punctures are scale-bearing. The punctures on 

 the pygidium are large and deep but not densely set and 

 provided with an elongate scale or bristle. The punctures 

 ou the sterna and abdomen are likewise scale-bearing. 



The anterior tibiae are strongly tridentate.

Apogonia adoretoides, n. sp. 



Resembling in general appearance the genus Adoretus 

 whence I have derived the specific name. 



Length 9 mm. — Elongate ovate, parallel-sided ; brown, 

 the head and tibiae blackish, the femora chestnut, the 

 palpi and antennae pale testaceous. Entirely covered with 

 a fine glittering gray pubescence , which is sparse ou the 

 legs, and longer and of a ferruginous colour on the outer 

 margin of the elytra. 



The head unusually large, strongly and confluently 

 punctured, the punctures forming irregular transverse 

 ridges and giving the face a somewhat scaly appearance ; 

 the clypeus almost regularly rounded, the anterior margin 

 reflexed , separated from the face by a distinct suture ; its 

 punctuation similar to that of the face. 



The prothorax very short , shorter than the height of
