rate from the post median common macula of the suture; finally, there 
is an apical blackish marking wanting in Apod, tranquebaricus. 
Besides these differences and the dark markings underneath and on the 
legs, the insect is proportionally more robust; the sculpture stronger; 
the legs stouter and shorter; the femora more thickly clavate ; the 
ground colour of the body is darker. Let us add that the rostrum 
is wider, more emarginate at the apex; the transverse line between the 
apex and the insertion of the antennae is much more deeply impressed 
(indeed very slightly so in Apod, tranquebaricus ), and the forehead not 
obliquely, but subperpendicularly attenuated towards the rostrum, deeply 
separated from it by a strong transverse impression.

Extremely allied to Apod, javanicus , but larger, more robust; 
rostrum much broader, slightly subangularly emarginate at the apex, 
regularly convex, without any appearance of a transverse impression. 
Head more convex in the middle, not abruptly attenuate posteriorly. 
Thorax more regularly conic, subtriangular, flatter, strigosities stronger, 
middle line much less deeply canaliculate. Elytra more convex poste¬ 
riorly ; interstices more elevated, with the transverse rugosities much 
more remote from one another, having the appearance of crenulations. 
Puncturing of the pygidium and body beneath stronger, with the same 
proportions.
