Head with two longitudinal rows of black spots on the face, anterior to the eyes, and a single 

 median row on the upper posterior surface. Mandibles with a single spot at their ex- 

 ternal distal angles. Dorsal plates depressed, roughened, with the sides sinuous ; each 

 plate with a slight dorsal median- elevation formed by a double row of minute, approx- 

 imated spines, somewhat as in L. rubrolineata, but with the posterior border of the 

 plates thin and deeply emai'ginated, and the sinuation of the lateral margins caused by 

 a partial folding of the tegument and projection of the spiracles at the front of the 

 coxae. Legs with the tibial and tarsal joints of each w-ith broad black rings. Basilar 

 joint of the metatarsi of the tenth pair more than twice as long as the second joint. 

 Colour yellow, with a longitudinal dorsal band, and two spots on each dorsal plate, and 

 the annulations on the legs black ; stigmata orange. 



This is a very beautiful species ; but the specimen from which I have de- 

 rived my description is in bad condition, so that I have not been able either 

 to ascertain the length of the antennae or of the posterior legs. The black 

 markings on the back, and the orange-coloured stomata, contrast beautifully 

 with the bright yellow ground of the body and legs.

cente fascia mediant longitudinali maculisque utrinque duabus brunneis stomatibus

 gulis annulis duobus latissimis violaceis ; articulo metatarsali primo nigrescente secundo 

 triple longiore. — Long. lin. 8.

I am doubtful whether this is not a variety of the last species, from which 

 however it seems to be distinct by the straight lateral margins of the dorsal 

 plates. I have named it therefore with a query.
