Genus Agonia Weise. 



The genus Agonia is divided into two Kul)genera according to 

 the number of costse on each elytron, thus : — Elytra with three 

 costje and eight or more rows of punctures, Agonia s. str. ; elytra 

 with two eostfe and six rows of pun<;tui:^s, Agonella Weise. In 

 the present case thei^ are four costte and ten rows of punctures, 

 I therefore take the following new species {Agonia hrishna) as 

 the type of a new subgenus which I name Ehagonia, The con- 

 vexity of the eyes, the low costse, the smooth parallel rows of 

 punctures, the form of the body, all point to the conclusion that 

 Agonia Icrishiva 1ms close affinity to the genus Downisia Baly. 

 The species included in the subgenus Agonelkc have higher costse, 

 coarser punctui^s, and the body more dilated behind — characters 

 which are strongly marked in the next genus Gonophora. For 

 these reasons I place Agvnia krishna at the beginning of the 

 genus Agonia^ 



Ekagionia, subgeu. nov, 



Agonia (Ekagonia) krishna, sp, n. (Text-fig, 1.) 



Elongate, paiullel-sided, black, shining. First two joints of 

 antennae shining, the rest of the joints pubescent ; intei-antennal 

 space with a protuberance ; eyes strongly convex, Frothorax 

 parallel-sided, base bisinuate, moderately convex, disc shining, 

 with a few scattered deep punctures, anterior sui-face trans- 

 versely strigose with a few brownish hairs, base with a deep 

 triangular fossa, each side with two shallower and rounded fossee 

 or depressions. Scutellum smooth, shining, with the apex 

 ro'unded. Elytra with four costse, first <Jost;a slightly elevated, 

 ten rows of punctures, between the suture and the first costa 

 only one row of punctures. 



Length, from head to apex of elytra, 5 '5 mm. 



Described from one example.

Type in the British Museum, 



Head. The bases of the antennae are well separated from the 

 mouth -parts by the clypeus, which is strigose and depressed in 

 the middle. Labium covered with brownish haii's. Seen fi'om 

 above, the interantennal process is so prominent that it conceals
