AP0G0NIA LOBATA. 107 



palpi ferruginous; above glabrous, the sides of the metaster- 

 num with short white setae in the punctures. 



The clypeus obliquely uarrowed in straight lines at the 

 sides, the front margin straight or faintly eraarginate, the 

 lateral angles rounded ; deeply and densely punctured, this 

 punctuation strongly contrasting with that on the face 

 where it is fine and rather remote. 



The prothorax is strongly transverse, narrowed in slightly 

 curved sides towards the front margin when viewed "rom 

 above, and broadest near the base; the sides rather regularly 

 curved when viewed laterally ; the anterior angles subacute, 

 the posterior ones strongly rounded so that they have 

 disappeared, the middle of the base distinctly projecting 

 backwards, thus forming a short, broadly rounded lobe 

 which covers the base of the scutellum ; the pronotum is 

 covered with punctures which are a trifle larger than those 

 on the face ; they are equally spread over the whole sur- 

 face like those on the face. The scutellum is at the base 

 distinctly broader than long, with broadly rounded tip and 

 with a few fine punctures. 



The interspaces of the elytra are remotely punctured, 

 the punctures are slightly larger than those on the prono- 

 tum ; the first costa is broad though distinctly narrower 

 than the second interspace and provided with two rather 

 irregular series of fine punctures; the second costa is 

 somewhat narrower than the space between it and the 

 third costa and bears one series of fine punctures ; the 

 third costa, which is as broad as each of the following 

 (three) interspaces, bears, like these, a series of fine punc- 

 tures; on the outer boundary line of the third costa, a 

 little before the middle of the length, a small longitudinal 

 impression may be observed which is, however, very obsolete 

 or wanting in some of the specimens before me. 



The abdomen, which has a raised smooth line along 

 the sides, is strongly and closely punctured laterally, sparsely 

 and finer along the middle; the pygidium is convex and 

 covered with very large punctures.
