and stout spines, the upper terminal one as long as the basal 
joint of the tarsus.

This appears to be very similar to A. cinerea, Brenske, and 
is probably the species described by Brenske with the desig- 
nation No. 106. The upper surface is finely, densely, and 
uniformly punctured and closely clothed with short grey 
decumbent hairs, except the head, which is shining, thinly 
aud irregularly punctured, and bears only a few erect bristles. 
The first joint of the hind tarsus is longer than the second, 
and the antennal club of the male is as long as the footstalk. 
Kolbe has enumerated (Ent. Nachr. xxv. 1899, p. 198) 
eleven species of Apogonia inhabiting Ceylon. Although I 
do not recognize several of these, there is no doubt that the 
actual number is considerably larger. Omitting the doubtful 
A. cava, Karsch, those now known to me may be tabulated 
as follows :— 
18). Body naked above. 
15). Elytra not relatively long. 
14). Elytra strongly punctured. 
13). Forehead shining, not densely punctured. 
10). Pronotum well punctured, 
9). Elytra not very densely punctured. 
8). Tarsi long, those of the ¢ very broad and 
clypeus:bilobed ie Aaa te are. ceteris equabilis, Karsch.
