18. Lebia fimbriolata. (Tab. X. fig. 14.) 



L. nigripennis (Dej.) affinis, quoad formam L. agnatce similis. Oblonga, rufo-testaeea, abdomine et elytris nigris, 

 his macula basali, margineque laterali usque ultra medium, rufo-testaceis, antennis articulis 4°-ll m palpisque 

 piceo-nigris ; capite lsevissimo, mox pone oculos subito angustato; thorace transverso, postice paullo 

 angustato, marginibus modice explanato-reflexis, angulis posticis fere rectis, margine basali prope angulos 

 antrorsum obliquato et rotundato ; elytris subdepressis subtiliter alutaceis, striis aeutis subpunctulatis, 

 inter stitiis planis. 



Long. 4-5 millim. 



Hab. Guatemala, near the city (Salvin, Champion), Capetillo {Champion). 



The elytra are shining black, with a slight olive-green tinge ; the epipleu

The marking 



very similar to those of the typical

are more elevated than in L. fimbriolata ; but, although this character is one on which 

 Chaudoir founds his main divisions of the genus, it appears to be, in the present case, 

 very variable and of small importance.

Parva, ovata, rufo-testacea, elytris olivaceo-seneis nitidis, interstitiis valde elevatis, metasterno abdomineque
