220 APOGONIA BREVIS. 



of very long , acuminate scales , or setae. Anterior legs red- 

 dish , their tibiae bidentate. Middle legs rather short. Hind 

 legs except the tarsi short, and thick. 



The species is remarkable on account of its clothing , 

 which is intermediate between scales and hairs. The tooth , 

 or division , of the posterior claws , is placed at some little 

 distance from the apex. 



The specimen described (probably a female) was captured 

 in May 1877 at Loeboekh tarab. 



2. Apogonia brevis, n. sp. 



Brevis, latiuscula, sat convexa, sine pubescentia, nitida 

 ferruginea., elytris pallidioribus ; capite angusto ; prothorace 

 lateribus cum basi rotundatis , sat crebre punctato ; elytris 

 parce, fortiter, parum profuude punctatis , seriebusque puncto- 

 rum parum distinctis ; tibiis anterioribus conspicue tridentatis , 

 dente intermedio per prominulo. — Long. 7^, lat. 4| m.m. 



Head about half as wide as the thorax , the margin of 

 the clypeus, nearly straight in front, just visibly emargi- 

 nate however in the middle , the surface coarsely but not 

 densely punctate , the clypeus more densely than the other 

 part. Thorax short, the sides greatly rounded, so that 

 the hind angles have quite disappeared , the front angles 

 rather prominent, but the side uot in the least flattened 

 out there, the surface rather coarsely but somewhat spa- 

 ringly punctate. Scutellum large, with distant punctures. 

 Elytra rather paler tliau the rest of the surface, sparingly 

 but rather coarsely punctured , and also with some not very 

 distinct series of punctures , viz a sutural rather distinct 

 series, then outside this two series which are moderately 

 close together at the base , but become divergent as they 

 proceed backwards , but again slightly approach one an- 

 other at the extremity ; outside these , just internal to the 

 humeral callus a second pair , parallel and rather approxi- 

 mate but indistinct, and between this pair and the outer 

 margin, a third quite indistinct pair. There are no deeply 

 ^otes from the I-ieyden ]>Xuseuiix, Vol. III.
