 APOGONIA BURMANICA, N. SP. 



DESCRIBKD BY 



C. RITSEMA Cz. 



Length 13 mm., breadth at the shoulders 7 mm. — 

 Black ; head, thorax and abdomen with a faint coppery 

 hue, scutellum and elytra with a faint metallic green hue 

 mixed with coppery; antennae pale fulvous, the palpi 

 slightly darker. Head and thorax lustreless, elytra and ab- 

 domen subshining. — Clypeus densely punctured, broadly 

 rounded, front margin turned upwards; separated from the 

 face by a shining impunctate streak. Face strongly and 

 deeply punctured, the punctures a trifle larger than those 

 on the pronotum. — Pronotum exceedingly densely and 

 regularly punctured, the narrow interspaces between the 

 punctures forming irregular longitudinal and oblique fine 

 ridges ; the anterior lateral angles flattened, rather acutely 

 protruding, shining, with a few punctures and upturned 

 outer edge. Scutellum deeply punctured, the extreme base 

 and the apex smooth. — Elytra strongly though not very 

 densely punctured, with the Isf and 2n'i costa very distinct, 

 owing to the impressed bordering lines which are marked 

 with very closely set punctures; these costae are impunctate 

 and the 1st one is a trifle broader than the 2»^. The 3"l or 

 humeral costa is rather indistinct and narrower; the space 

 between it and the three lateral rows of punctures is 

 punctured like the rest of the elytra. The sutural interstices 

 bear a row of small punctures which doubles beyond the 

 middle of the elytra. — The propygidium is rugosely 

 punctured, the pygidium very coarsely and with a smooth 

 longitudinal line at the base. — The sides of the meta- 

 sternum are punctured about in the same way as the pro- 

 notum, the middle portion however is remotely punctured. 

 The punctures on the ventral segments are large and not 

 close together. — The anterior tibiae are tridentate, the 

 upper tooth rather obliterate. 



Hah. Burma: Theinzeik (P. Loizeau). — The described 

 specimen belongs to Mr. Rene Oberthiir.
