in the median part there is a nearly smooth longitudinal band reach- 

 ing from base to apex, and it is covered, like the head, with long, 

 but not dense, slightly flavescent hairs ; scutellum densely pubes- 

 cent ; elytra somewhat quadrate in the anterior part, moderately 

 ampliated in the posterior, and showing 110 traces of costules, covered 

 with irregular, transverse, smooth folds enclosing transverse series 

 of somewhat closely but irregularly set small punctures ; under side 

 briefly pubescent. 



Allied to L. corrugata, Pering. ; the prothorax is, however, much 

 more roundly ampliated laterally, and the transverse folds on the 

 elytra are much less raised, and also much less rugose. 



Length 15-15f mm. ; width 7 mm.

LAGEIA PR.EDITA, n. sp. 



Female : Bronze-black, with the elytra testaceous-yellow and the 

 under side chestnut-brown, clothed on the upper side with an erect 

 flavous pubescence forming also on the central part of the prothorax 

 a distinct appressed band ; head roughly punctate and having in the 

 anterior frontal part a faint triangular impression ; antennae some- 

 what short and with the five penultimate joints very broadly trans- 

 verse and closely set, last joint turbinate, short; prothorax only very 

 slightly ampliated laterally in the median part, deeply and closely 

 punctate with the intervals smooth, raised, and irregular, there is a 

 longitudinal median impunctate line ; scutellum densely pubescent ; 

 elytra somewhat quadrate in the anterior part, only moderately 

 ampliated laterally behind, and covered, like L. proccra, w T ith a net- 

 work of transverse, smooth folds, enclosing more or less transversely 

 disposed, and deep, but not wide punctures ; under side pubescent, 

 legs villose. 



Not unlike L. proccra, but differently coloured and shorter, the 

 prothorax is not ampliated and rounded in the middle, and the 

 transverse folds of the elytra are more raised. 



Length 13 mm. ; width 6 mm.

Ferruginous-brown, metallic, clothed with a greyish flavescent 

 pubescence, dense and appressed in all the examples which I have 

 examined (six) ; head closely punctate, scrobiculate in the anterior 

 part ; antennae moderately long, but looking longer on account of
