 before tlie seutellum is a short, very line line; elytra, stri;e 

 1-2 entire, nearly straight, '6 evanescent or a little interrupted 

 in the middle, 4 short and apical; pro})ygidium transversely 

 punctate, punctures shallow, irregular, and somewh.it oval, 

 the posterior margin smooth ; pygidium more closely set 

 with similar jninctures, margin narrowly smooth and feebly 

 raised, the ])ygidium more transverse than in A. Semper i ; 

 prosternal keel without striae, but appears a little o[)aque, 

 owing to an extremely fine punctuation, so also are the other 

 sternal plates; the mesosternum is sinuous in front, stria com- 

 plete and well marked, margin narrow, as in the last species; 

 nietasternal median line fine; legs an 1 tarsi pii^eous, tibiaj as 

 in A. Semper {.

Apohleles corticalis, sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovatus, ferrugiueus, complanatus, nitidus ; elytris striis 1'- 

 2' iritegris, 2* sinuata, 3* late interrupta ; mesosterno bisinuato,

L. 3 mill. 



Oblong-ovate, ferruginous, flat, and shining ; head nearly 

 smooth, frontal stria complete, transversely a little bent; 

 thorax, stria interrupted behind the neck, with a longitudinal

 distance away from the margin, there are some strigous punc- 

 tures also near the posterior angle: elytra, first and second strict 

 complete, first straight, second a little bent, third widely inter- 

 rnj)ted in the middle, apical jiortion shortest ; propygidium 

 lightly bifoveolate, punctate throughout, juinctures largest and 

 confluent at the sides; pygidium closely punctate, with the hinder 

 margin raised on each side, with apex depressed ; prosternum 

 feebly emarginate at the base, smooth; mesosteinum ante-
