AP0G0N1A WATERSTRA DTI. 105 



The sides of the metasternum are very closely puuctured, 

 the punctures bear small white scalelike setae; the punc- 

 tures on the abdomen are strong but not very densely set. 

 A more or less distinct smooth keel runs along the middle 

 of the pygidium. 



The anterior tibiae are tridentate.

Apogonia speculifera, n. sp. 



Resembling A. rauca Fabr. & Waterh., from Coromandel 

 (Cist. Ent. II, p. 224) in general appearance, but smaller 

 and less densely punctured and at once recognizable by 

 the tridentate anterior tibiae, the impunctate scutellum 

 and the sharp edge around the abdomen, which characters 

 it has in common with A. Brenskei Rits., from Upper 

 Burma (Notes Leyd. Mus. vol. XIX, p. 119). From Brenskei 

 the new species is easily distinguishable by its punctuation 

 which is considerably coarser but less dense. 



Length 7,5 — 8,5 mm. — Black, with purple and dark 

 green tinges above, especially on the elytra, the antennae 

 and palpi ferruginous, the tarsi dark pitchy brown ; glabrous 

 above, the punctures on the undersurface and on the legs 

 provided with a short, pale-coloured bristle. 



The clypeus is broadly rounded, not emarginate in front, 

 separated from the face by a shallow furrow which is 

 somewhat enlarged in the middle and at the sides and 

 here (at the inner orbit) better defined; the punctuation 

 on the clypeus is finer and closer than that on the face, 

 which latter agrees pretty well with that on the pronotum. 



The prothorax is strongly transverse and the sides (viewed 

 from above) are slightly converging in faintly curved lines; 

 when viewed laterally the sides are curved just behind 

 the middle ; the anterior angles are acute and very slightly 

 protruding, the basal ones very obtuse. The scutellum is
