Peculiar in its markings, and of uncertain position in Chaudoir' s classification 



Its 



affinities seem to lie chiefly in the direction of L. centromaculata. The brown fascia of 









the elytra is rather broad and not obliq

E majoribus. Elongato-quadrata, vix convexa, nigro-picea, elytris saturate cseruleis, partibus oris rufo-piceis ;

 differs in the head not being longitudinally striated.
