of the metasternum more sparingly punctured and with a broad im- 

 pression. Legs pitchy. 



Apogonia farinosa (n. sp.) : Rufescens , squamulis furfuraceis 

 vestita setisqite tenuibus erectis (praesertim in capite et thorace) munita. 

 — Long. 7 inill. 



Celebes (Wallace!). 



Clypeus extremely short. Surfaco covered with broad liglit scales 

 wbich conceal tlio sculpture, and on the head and thorax with a 

 dense, fine erect pubescence. Elytra rather coarsely punctured, their 

 setae much more scanty than on the head and thorax , the scales 

 leaving two not very distinct bare lines down the middle of oach. 

 Pygidium clothed with scales and hairs. Undersurface clothed with 

 light scales similar to those of the upper surface but much smaller, 

 and with a scattered pubescence between them. Legs with pale setae, 

 but free from scales , except a few* on the hind femora. Claws of 

 tarsi deeply bifid. 



This species is easily recognized by the large scales with which 

 it is covered. 



Apogonia vestita (n. sp.) : Fusco-rufa, squamulis angustis albidis 

 dense vestita ; pygidio apice setoso ; elytris fortiter punctatis. — Long. 

 10 mill. 



Celebes (Wallace !). 



Antennae yellow. Head coarsely punctured and clothed with 

 pale scale-lilce setae , which are finest at the front of the clypeus. 

 Thorax rather coarsely punctured , a good deal rounded at the sides, 

 the surface with a very faint metallic reflection and clothed with 

 narrow white scales, which are sufficiently distant from one another 

 to allow the surface between them to appear shining. Elytra reddish, 

 rather paler in colour than the head and thorax, very coarsely punc- 

 tured and shining , but the sculpture much obscured by the pale 

 scales which are sprinlded over it; these leave two indistinet lines 

 along the middle of each elytron bare. Pygidium sparingly clothed 

 with scales, which at the apex are replaced by fine, elongate , erect, 

 white hairs. Undersurface more densely clothed with scales than the 

 upper, the apical segment with a smooth, shining space in its middle. 

 Legs pitchy, much clothed with setae.
