Yellowish-brown 1 ; dorsum moderately convex, medianly lightly canaliculate; antennae small, filiform, pilose;

In our specimens, which have been preserved for a long time in alcohol, the color is a 

 light yellowish-brown. The anterior scuta are tubcrcuhite, the posterior merely roughened.

Each has a more or less obsolete transverse groove extending all across the lateral lamina?. 

 The latter are very long and narrow ; they are placed very close together, and are often 

 bent slightly backwards. Their external margin is somewhat oblique, and is furnished in 

 all except, perhaps, the most anterior, with a pore. The small feet are entirely concealed 

 beneath the broad body. The male appendages (Fig. 61) consist of two pairs of acute 

 feet-like processes. It affords me much pleasure to dedicate this species to Medical In- 

 spector John L. Le Conte, U. S. A., as an acknowledgment of the many assistances which 

 he has afforded me in the prosecution of my studies.
