108 APOGONIA LOBATA. 



The anterior tibiae are bidentate. 



Hab. West Borneo: Sarawak (Wallace); Pontianak (Mulot, 

 Buffat and Ledru). — In the collection of Mr. René Oberthür 

 and in that of the Leyden Museum. 



Apogojvia Uelleri, n. sp. 



Resembling Apogonia Brenskei Rits., from Upper Burma 

 (Notes Leyd. Mus. vol. XIX, p. 119), but quite distinct 

 by the much finer punctuation, smaller head, slightly 

 emarginate clypeus, bidentate anterior tibiae, by the raised 

 line which surrounds the entire abdomen, whereas this 

 line is interrupted by the propygidium in Brenskei, etc. 



Length 7 — 7,5 mm. — Elongate ovate; glabrous, black l ), 

 above with dark purple tinges; the antennae and palpi 

 ferruginous, the tarsi pitchy brown ; the sides of the ster- 

 num bear short white setae in the punctures. 



The clypeus is obliquely narrowed towards the front 

 margin which is faintly emarginate and has the lateral 

 angles broadly rounded ; it is punctured about in the same 

 way as the face from which it is distinctly separated. 



The prothorax is strongly narrowed in oblique lines in 

 the larger anterior half, subparallel in the smaller basal 

 half, so that it is broadest (when viewed from above) at 

 the basal portion ; the anterior angles are acute but not 

 prominent, the basal ones very obtuse. The punctuation 

 on the pronotum is fine and very dense, somewhat finer 

 and denser than that on the face. The scutellum has a 

 regular triangular shape with slightly convex sides; it is 

 finely and remotely punctured and has a smooth line along 

 the middle. 



The elytra are coarsely and regularly densely punctured 

 which makes the costae not easy to be discerned. The first 

 costa is broad (almost as broad as the following interspace) 

 but gradually narrowing towards the base and the end; 



1) In a somewhat immature specimen the end nf the elytra and the propy- 

 gidium are rufous.
