LACCOPHILUS. ll 
the surface of the wing-cases is not polished, and is a little less shining in the female 
than it is in the male. The under surface is yellow. The male possesses a rather 
coarse coxal file; but I do not detect any trace of a file in the female. In the latter sex 
the epipleura is broadly dilated a little before the extremity, the dilatation being 
almost as remarkable above as it is when the under surface is looked at. In each sex 
the apical abdominal segment is nearly without truncation or sinuation. Apart from 
the structure of the epipleura in the female, the species may be distinguished from 
L. americanus and the allies which resemble it in size and in the pale breast, by the 
complete absence of any pale spots near the base of the wing-cases.

The female of this species has a quite distinct coxal file. The species is very near to 
LL. americanus, and may perhaps prove not to be a good one; but at present material is 
insufficient to decide the question.

The subbasal fascia extends from the shoulder to the suture, but is broken into three 
spots, the two internal spots being nearly connected, however, by means of a vague 
curved mark quite at the base; behind the.middle are some elongate very slender pale
