length to the basal part. Thorax angularly widened at sides, tubercles not very 
evident, thickly and finely punctured, the front and base, underside, and a line down 
the middle pale yellow. Elytra rather cylindric and parallel, deeply punctured in 
series, the interstices rugose; fuscous, with pale suture and margins, not, however, 
margined at the base. The legs are quite pale, the front pair with black apices to 
the femora, tibize, and tarsi, the two hind pairs with the tips of tibiz and tarsi alone 
black. 
This insect reminds one of IJchnea vitticollis, Gorh. ['Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 415], 
but is quite differently punctured, besides the difference in structure from that species. 
There have been captured six examples, one of which from Capetillo is shown in the 
Plate.

Lebasiella is the New-World representative of the Palearctic genera Necrobia and 
Opetiopalpus, from either of which it differs inter alia in having the eyes witha © 
distinct sinus, the club of the antenne less connate, and in the mode of puncturing of 
the elytra. Its range is extended over the northern continent to Pennsylvania, the 
peninsula of California, and the isle of Cuba, and in South America to Colombia. A 
species attributed to it from Chili is probably not congeneric. Six species are 
described.

3. Lebasiella bisbinotata, (Tab. IX. fig. 26.) 
Flavo-testacea, nitida; prothorace crebre et subtiliter, elytris parcius et profunde punctatis; his maculis duabus 
subrotundatis, una humerali, altera pone medium, nigris; tarsis fuscis. Long. vix 3 millim. 
Hab. Honpuras (coll. Sallé).
