Long. 6 millim. 



Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Champion). 









The blackish markings of the elytra consist in a patch round the scutellum (the 

 scutellum itself being yellow), a broken short discoidai fascia on each elytron close 

 behind, an oblique spot thence towards the shoulder, a humeral spot, a small spot over 

 the second ordinary puncture of the third interstice, the suture near the apex, and spots 

 on the marginal row of ocellate punctures ; the pygidium has also a black streak on 

 each side ; there is sometimes also a dusky spot on the basal joint of the antennae and 

 on the sides of the presternum. The two punctures of the third elytral interstice are

unusually large

The markings nearly resemble those of Lebia cursor (Chaudoir) from Cayenne ; but 

 the description of the form of the elytra in that species does not at all fit L. mirabilis, 

 and I cannot discover, even under a high power of the microscope, any tooth in the 

 emargination of the mentum, which, according to Chaudoir's classification, L. cursor 

 must possess.

Magna, oblonga, parum convexa, tota nigra nitida, elytris prope apicem deplanatis, apice ipso arcuato-truncatis, 

 angulo exteriore dentiformi, suturali subdentato ; capite sparse longitudinaliter et transversim ruguloso, 

 collo nee constricto nee depresso ; palpis normalibus apice obtusis ; thoraee fere semiovato, antice parum 

 rotundato, postice paullo latiore, marginibus sat late explanato-reflexis, angulis posticis apice rotundatis, 

 dorso transversim ruguloso, elytris profunde striatis, interstitiis valde elevatis ; tarsorum omnium articulo 

 quarto bilobato, lobis modice angustis ; menti sinu dente late obtuso armato.
