evenly and not closely pnnctulate, and some-wliat concave 

 anierioily, stria strong over the eyes and interrupted at the 

 angle and widely sinuous anteriorly > the thorax finely punc- 

 tulate laterally, with the marginal stria interrupted hehind 

 the neck ; the elytra, 1-3 dorsal strire complete^ with a short 

 a])ical appendage representing^ the fourth, sometimes the 

 third is evanescent in the middle ; the propygidiura is almost 

 smooth in the middle and sparingly pointed at the sides ; the 

 pygidium is evenly and rather coarsely punctured, with two 

 shallow basal fovese ; the prosternum is very finely and 

 sparingly pnnctulate ; the mesosternum is marginate, bufc 

 owing to the stria being very fine and close to the edge 

 (which is impressed behind the prosternal keel) it is not easy 

 to see except under a microscope. 



This species is relatively broader than A. marginicollis. 

 Lew., and the head is not opaque. Except in size it is most 

 similar to A. tener^ Mars.

Apolletes feriatus, sp. n. 



ObloDgns, plaiiatus, niger, nitidus ; antennis pedibusque rufo- 

 brunneis ; froute parum dense punctulata, stria utrinque distincte 

 interrupta ; elytris striis 1-2 iDtegris, B intemipta vel in medio 

 evanesccnti ; pygidio distincte punctate, utrinque foveolato ; 

 tibiis anticis 4-dentatis.

Oblong, flat, rather parallel at the sides, black and shining ; 

 antenna3 and legs reddish brown ; the head and mandibles 

 somewhat densely pnnctulate, forehead concave in the region 

 of the stria, which is distinctly interrupted on either side ; 

 the thorax finely punctulate on the lateral borders, marginal 

 stria interrupted t3ehind the neck ; the elytra, striee lightly 

 impressed, 1-2 complete, 3 sometimes interrupted in the 

 middle, sometimes traceable as complete; the propygidium 

 is sparingly and very finely punctured, except at the impres- 

 sions on either side of the base, where the punctures are more 

 conspicuous ; the pygidium is distinctly pointed and has two 

 shallow foveffi at the base ; the prosternum is wide and without 

 striffi ; the mesosternum is bisinuous and not marginate 

 behind the keel ; the anterior tibise are 4-dentate. 



This species is smaller and less wide than A. tener and 

 A. Schaumt, Mars., but the form of the sternal plates is very 

 similar in the three species.
