This is tiie smallest species of Apogonia known to me. It 

 is exceedingly like A. acuminata, Arrow, but smaller and 

 rather more numerously punctured and the clypeus is still 

 more sharply pointed. The pronotum is more strongly 

 punctured, the front and hind margins are rather more parallel, 

 and the sides appear straighter as seen from above and less 

 convergent towards the front. The pygidium is also rather 

 more punctured. The sexes are alike, except in the dilatation 

 of the front and middle tarsi of the male.

This species figures in Mr. Peringuey's ' Catalogue of 

 the South-African Coleoptera' under the name of the West- 

 African E. harthi, Harold, to which it is closely related. It 

 agrees with it in the fiiiige of yellow velvety hairs at the 

 inside of the middle and hind tibiae, very thick in the male, 

 but diflfers in the more shining and very feebly punctured 

 elytra and the relatively shorter and rather differently shaped 

 pronotum, the sides of which are less angulated at the middle, 

 so that they are more divergent behind, and the base rela- 

 tively broader. The sternal process is more narrowed be- 

 tween the middle coxse, and the mesosternal part of it almost 

 circular in shape. 



Capt. Moser has described as a variety of Ceratorrhina 

 {Neptunides) poJychrca, Thorns., a form, manoicensis, Moser, 

 ■which is abundant at Chirinda, feeding upon pineapples. 

 It presents marked and constant differences from Thomson's
