on the median part of the prothorax so as to form there a plain 

 longitudinal band ; head roughly punctulate on the vertex, scrobicu- 

 late in front ; antennae long, the four basal joints only metallic in 

 the male, the joints five to ten are obconical, gradually increasing in 

 width, not closely set, and the last one is as long as the four pre- 

 ceding taken together, in the female these joints are much more 

 broadly transverse, more closely set, and the broad apical one is not 

 equal in length to the two preceding taken together ; prothorax 

 slightly rounded laterally, and sinuate above the basal part, covered 

 with closely set round punctures which are somewhat large on the 

 sides and part of the disk, but very minute in the central part, espe- 

 cially towards the base, as these punctures are setiferous it follows 

 that the hairs are denser there and thus form a flavous band ; 

 scutellum densely hairy; elytra only moderately ampliated in the 

 posterior part in both sexes, covered with deep, irregular punctures 

 separated by raised, smooth, coalescing walls disposed transversely 

 in wavy folds. 



More parallel than L. villosa, the antennae are much longer than 

 in either that species or in L. mashuna ; the sculpture of the head is 

 different from the former, and the shape of the antennae differentiates 

 it at once from the latter. 



Length 10-13 mm. ; width 4^-5 mm.

Bronze-green, elytra occasionally reddish-bronze, antennae dark 

 blue, almost black ; it is covered on the upper side with a short, 

 greyish-white pubescence ; head deeply and irregularly punctate and 

 having a triangular, raised area in the anterior part ; antennae long 

 and of the usual shape in both sexes, but not broadly transverse in 

 'the female, the apical joint is three times the length of the preceding 

 one in the male, and as long as the two preceding taken together in 

 the female ; the prothorax is slightly longer than broad in both 

 sexes, very little rounded laterally and hardly sinuate above the 

 base, covered with irregular foveolate punctures, separated by 

 irregular raised walls, forming a sort of scrobiculation, and in the 

 centre of the disk there is a very faintly impressed longitudinal line, 

 which is much more pronounced in the female ; scutellum finely 

 scrobiculate ; elytra narrow and sub-parallel in the male for two- 

 thirds of the length, and only slightly ampliated thence, but much 

 more ampliated there in the female, covered with somewhat small
