This species approaches very near to Stencorus suturalis of 
Olivier (iv. no. 69. 29. 25. t. 3. f. 29.); but in his insect the legs: 
are black, the thorax has only two tubercles, and the base of the 
exterior margin as well as that of the suture is violet; whereas im 
L. ceramboides the legs are red, the thorax has four tubercles, and 
only the suture is violet. His insect also comes from a different 
country, being a native of the East Indies. "These two species: 
form a distinct section of Leptura, or perhaps a new genus..
