Of this species a pair of elytra arc preserved ncarlv complete, but 

 cracked and flattened somewhat out of sh.-ipe. Ir is allied to I. cseru- 

 lescens L., but differs from it and from all oilier American species of Loricera 

 in the much greater depth of the stria 5 and in the piv-ence of distinct 

 Bubmarginal foveae. The elytra are of a ^-listenin^. snmewhat blue-black 

 color. The striae are strongly impressed, faintly though rather coarsclv 

 and profuselv punctulate, the third interspace with three Miiall. di.-tinctlv 

 but not deeply impressed fovea.', arranged as in L. caerulescens, two near 

 each other just above the middle of the elvtra, and one behind the middle 

 of the apical half; fifth interspace sometimes furnished with a p.-iir of verv 

 taint foveae near the middle of the elytra, much as in I . decetir ninctata 

 Lsch , about as far from each other as from the sutural border; and finally 

 the ninth interspace, different from all the species of Loricera I have been 

 able to examine, has eight or more small lint distinct and deep fove.-e, 

 mostly situated in the apical half of the elytra, sometimes connected bv 

 oblique ridges with the next stria within. The interspaces are crossed 

 by very fine wrinkles, scarcely visible with a simple lens. Seen on the 

 under surface each of the punctures of the stria- are surrounded bv a circle 

 reaching to the circles around the adjoining punctures, reminding one some- 

 what of the upper surface of Klaphrus. The elytra are shaped as in L. 

 decempunctata, particularly at the apex.
