106 APOGONIA SPECULTFERA. 



itnpunctate, very glossy, and of a triangular shape with 

 rounded apex. 



The elytra are strongly but not very densely punctured ; 

 there are two very distinct flat costae of which the first 

 is somewhat broader than the second ; these costae are 

 impunctate or provided with a few exceedingly small punc- 

 tures; the third or humeral costa agrees perfectly with 

 the interstices between it and the outer margin of the 

 elytra; they are all impunctate; the punctures on the in- 

 terstice between the first costa and the suture agree with 

 those of the pronotum, but they become larger towards 

 the end of the elytra; the punctures on the second inter- 

 stice (that between the 1 st and 2 nd costa) are slightly larger 

 and closer together, and this is again the case with the 

 punctures on the third interstice. 



The entire abdomen is strongly and closely punctured ; 

 it is surrounded by a raised line which is not interrupted 

 by the propygidium ; the pygidium is slightly convex. 



The anterior tibiae are tridentate.

Apogonia lobata, n. sp. 



Allied to Apogonia Waterhousei Rits., from Central Borneo 

 (Notes Leyd. Mus. vol. XVIII, p. 29), but differing by 

 the finer punctuation on the elytra which makes these 

 parts more shining; by the shape of the prothorax this 

 having the sides more regularly rounded, the basal angles 

 rounded and the middle of the base distinctly projecting, 

 thus forming a short lobe which covers the base of the 

 scutellum ; by the shape of the scutellum which is shorter 

 and broader and broadly rounded at the tip. 



Length 8,5 — 9,5 mm. — Above metallic green with 

 bright coppery and purple tinges, beneath and legs reddish 

 brown with green and coppery tinges, the antennae and
