Mr. Wateimiouse on ueir species of Coleopteni. 225 



sterimm are very strougly puucturod, the interspaces about 

 equal to the diameter of the punctures. The sides o£ the 

 abdomen are thickly and deeply punctured ; the pygidiura has 

 some large punctures placed not very closely along the sides, 

 the middle with a iew stray punctures, and no trace of a raised 

 line. The general colour is a?neous. 



Anomala jyunctatissiina, Walker (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 1859, 

 iii, [). 56), agrees admiralily Avith the type Apogonia rauca^ 

 except that it has the scutellum almost smooth. I believe it to 

 l)e a mere variety. 



Apoijonia polita, u. sp. 



01)longo-ovata, convexa, nigra (vix purjiia'ascens), nitidissinia; 

 clypeo sat crebre evidenter punctato ; f route minus crebre 

 distincte punctata ; thorace couvexo, haud crebre subtiliter 

 punctulato ; scutello la2vi ; elytris haud crebre, evidenter puuc- 

 tatis, bigeminato-striato-punctatis. Long. 5 lin. 



A highly polished robust species. Clypeus rather closely and 

 very distinctly punctured ; forehead ratlier less strongly punc- 

 tured, the intervals between the punctures about \\ times the 

 diameter of the punctures. The thorax is highly polished, 

 the punctures are rather obsolete on the disk, more distinct at 

 tlie sides, distant from, each other from 2 to 3 times the diameters 

 of the punctures, ou the disk the punctures are more scattered. 

 The punctures on the elytra are distinct (but not very large), 

 distant from each other about ?> times the diameter of the 

 jiunctures; finer on the sides ; of the usual pairs of rows of 

 punctures, the first pair are parallel and the s^^ace between them 

 is rather broad, and with a few punctiu-es scattered over the 

 surface ; the second pair are rather closer together and include 

 a vow of small pimctures ; the third pair are very similar to the 

 second ; at the sides are three rows of pimctui-es (including the 

 marginal hue), the intervals between them almost destitute of 

 punctures. The sides of the metasternum and al:)domen are 

 very strongly and rather thickly j)unctured, less thickly on the 

 abdomen (which is j^itchy) ; the punctures on the pygidiuni arc 

 not very close.
