Seven new Species of Apion. 349 



TuDNCus cjlindricus, capite vix latior, levissim^ punc- 

 tulatus, ante scutelluni fossuia satis impress^ notatus. 

 Femora omnia cum troclianteiibus, item Cojre anteriores 

 dujE, Havo-testacea. TMce anticaj rufe basi dilutiores, 

 posteriores quatuor nigro-piceae basi annulo flavo-testa- 

 ceo. Tarsi nigii. Coleoptra subglobosa sive ex glo- 

 bose ovata, gibba, striata: stiiis subpunctatis. 

 This species should be placed after A. flavifemovatum {Linn. 

 Trans, ix. 42. 23.) to which it is very nearly related : it is however 

 quite distinct, and may always be known by the very slight puncta- 

 tion of its trunk,and the deep fossulajust above the scutcllum. The 

 rostrum also is thicker than even that of the male of the species 

 just referred to, and the little furrows too between the eyes afford 

 a good character. I think it was taken, but am not quite certain, 

 in the parish of JVittersham in the Isle of Oxneij in Kent, a spot 

 which abounds with insects, particularly Hijmenoptera.
