This species differs from A. vestita by the marking of the face 
and the pale color of legs, antenne, &c.; from A. pallida in the 
outline of the pronotum, the marking of the face, and the veins 
of the elytra not being pale. It and the following species may 
require a separate subgenus. . 
APOLYTA MARGINATA, sp. nov. No. 29 (male), 44 (female). 
Pale tawny to blackish. Antenne dark, except basal joints. 
Pronotum shining, margins whitish all round, narrow in front 
and behind, broad laterally, dark area of disk divided by a pale 
median stripe into two oval or oblong spots. Elytra normal, 
costal margin broad, whitish ; radial vein narrowly black at the 
base, remainder of veins and veinlets whitish. Legs tawny. 
Abdomen above banded indistinctly darker, beneath yellowish 
(male) or blackish (female). Supra-anal lamina triangular, apex 
acute. Subgenital lamina subcucullate, oval, apex slightly 
emarginate (male), or keeled and obtuse (female).

two sexes of the same species, but they are very similar. Type of
