umbraculatus is very plainly sinuate, with the angle projecting 

 accordingly, whereas in the present species, of which I have seen 

 twelve examples, there is no sinuation whatever.

GEN. LEBIA, Latr. 

 LEBIA PHANTASMA, n. sp. 



Head, prothorax, and antennae testaceous-red, elytra testaceous- 

 yellow ; head aciculate in the anterior frontal part, and plainly 

 plicate longitudinally along the eyes ; prothorax cordate, very 

 slightly broader than long, sparingly punctulate in the median dis- 

 coidal part, and more densely laterally ; elytra with the shoulders 

 rounded, sinuate laterally at about one-fourth of the length, and 

 gradually ampliated thence to a short distance from the apical part, 

 deeply striate with the intervals convex, plainly although not very 

 sharply tectiform and with the sides somewhat deeply but not closely 

 punctate, each puncture bearing a very fine, short seta-like hair, in 

 the basal part there is a transverse, quadrangular fuscous patch 

 reaching the third stria on each side, continued as a narrow band 

 along the suture and developing above the apical part into a shorter 

 quadrate patch reaching the second interval, the apical part of the 

 fifth interval is somewhat infuscate, and it is probable that in some 

 examples this infuscate band is connected with the posterior sutural 

 quadrate patch ; under side and legs very pale testaceous-yellow, 

 apical tarsal joint strongly bi-lobate. 



Length 8 mm. ; width 3^ mm.

LEBIA SIMULATOEIA, n. sp. 



Head and prothorax pale testaceous-red, elytra, legs, and under 

 side almost straw-colour ; head closely aciculate in the anterior part, 

 and plicate along the orbits, hind part and neck impunctate ; pro- 

 thorax cordate, a little broader than long, finely punctulate laterally 

 but very sparsely in the median discoidal part ; elytra gradually 

 ampliated from the lateral sinus towards the posterior part, plainly 

 costate, the costye tectiform, moderately sharp at tip, and with the 

 sides deeply but not closely punctate close to the stria, and the 

 punctures very briefly setigerous, they have a transverse, basal black
