The position of this species in Chaudoir's classification is doubtful. It bears much 

 resemblance to some of his Aphelogeniw, and the emargination of the mentum is without 





th, as in that g 



but there 



ght undulation in place of the tooth, and 



besides, this character is evidently of no generic value in the Lebia group. The 



the colour of the head and thor 



the form of the elytral markings in this 



species demonstrate the little value of Chaudoir's groups founded on these characters

"Z. nigricipiti (Chaud.) similis, at capite flavo, elytris ovatis differt. Parva, ovatula, testaceo-flava ; elytris 

 fasciis duabus nigris, prima basali (latera haud attingente) postice medio angulatim emarginata, secunda 

 pone medium (marginem lateralem baud attingente) antice et postice medio elytro leviter sinuata, inter- 

 stitio suturali inter fascias autem nigro ; thorace valde transverso, apud angulos posticos valde explanato ; 

 elytris profunde punctulato-striatis, interstitiis culminatis.

The elytral markings are almost exactly as in L. nigriceps (Chaud. Monogr. t. ii. 

 fig. 74) ; but the species belongs to a different subgroup, resembling in form L. centro- 

 maculata and allies, but peculiar in the hind tarsi being very slender, and the claws 

 and lobes of the fourth joint small. 



59. Lebia cordelia. (Tab. XI. fig. 18.) 



L. corculce affinis, tarsis posticis angustissimis, unguibus parvis similibus ; sed differt quoad colores. Flavo- 

 testacea, capite thoraceque rufis, laevibus, elytris macula late triangulari circumscutellari, humeris, sutura 

 media fasciaque angusta post medium (apud suturam rhomboidea et ad interstitia 4 m -5 m fere interrupta) 

 nigris; thorace minus lato, antice parum dilatato-rotundato, postice haud angustato, marginibus sat 

 explanatis, flavis ; elytris profunde striatis, interstitiis usque ad apicem convexis.
