and each surrounded by a slightly raised ring, the basal margin with a complete row of closely placed 
punctures; elytra moderately long, a little rounded at the sides, somewhat rapidly narrowing from about 
(or a little before) the middle, with deep and very closely punctured striz, the interstices convex, flatter on 
the basal half of the disc, and sparsely but coarsely punctured ; beneath brownish-piceous, the ventral 
surface with scattered rather coarse punctures and wrinkles, the metasternum closely and finely punctured, 
more coarsely and more sparsely so at the sides, and longitudinally impressed in the middle ; legs long and 
slender, fusco-ferruginous, the femora piceous; penultimate joint of the four anterior tarsi very narrowly 
lobed beneath. 
¢. Anterior tibie simply curved, the inner edge not widened. The lateral lobes of the last ventral segment 
moderately long, inwardly curved, the apices blunt and bent inwards, the inner edges denticulate ; the 
central sheath rather broad, acuminate, the apex bent a little upwards and feebly setose beneath. (Fig. 5a.) 
Length 73-9 millim.; breadth 23-31 millim. (d 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
Numerous examples. This insect has a different facies from any other of the genus 
known to me; in the very slender antenne it approaches L. femoralis, and in the 
thoracic sculpture Z. sculpturata. The head is comparatively broad; the sculpture of 
the thorax consists of rather fine punctures, each puncture on the disc being surrounded 
by a slightly raised ring; the anterior tibiae in the male are simply curved. The 
penultimate joint of the anterior and intermediate tarsi is very narrowly lobed beneath 
in this species; and the antenne have their joints 4-11 widest at the middle. 
** Upper surface golden-green or eneous. 
Anterior tarsi in the male with the four basal joints lobed beneath. 
32. Lobopoda viridis. (Tab. XVIII. figg. 6, 6a, d, 3.) 
Elongate, bright greenish-eneous or golden-green, somewhat thickly clothed with ashy pubescence. Head 
sparsely punctured; eyes very large and approximate in the male, smaller and narrowly separated in the 
female ; prothorax very sparsely and rather finely punctured, the sides a little sinuate behind, the hind 
angles obtusely rectangular, the disc very distinctly canaliculate, and somewhat deeply transversely 
impressed before the base, the basal impression extending to the deep fovee; elytra long, rather broad, 
gradually narrowed from a little below the base, with rows of rather distantly placed impressions which 
gradually become coarser and more and more elongate posteriorly and towards the apex are here and 
there confluent, the interstices almost flat and very sparsely but rather coarsely punctured; beneath dark 
bronze, very sparsely and rather finely punctured, the fifth ventral segment shallowly impressed in the 
middle in both sexes; legs dark bronze, the tarsi lighter ; antenne fusco-ferruginous. 
g. Anterior tibie triangularly widened on the inner side a little beyond the middle; anterior femora towards 
the base a little thickened and very bluntly toothed on the inner side, the inner edge slightly emarginate 
and obsoletely denticulate. The lateral lobes of the last ventral segment rather short and broad, deeply 
and abruptly notched on the lower side externally, the apical portions bifurcate and with their lower 
branch the broadest and clothed with a few long fine hairs; the central sheath rather broad, gradually 
narrowing, more sharply so towards the apex, the apical portion setose on each side. (Figg. 6a, b.) 
Length 11-15 millim.; breadth 4-5 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé), Misantla (Hége); Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt). 
Seven examples. his species will be readily identified from the description; it 
cannot be confounded with any other of the genus here described. JZ. viridis varies 
very considerably in size.
