The colonr ot" dark slate, the grey pnbescence being mnch less in evidence on 

 the npper side than on the under. The antennae are rufescent, with a darker clnb ; 

 the tarsi and, to a lesser degree, also the tibiae have likewise a reddish tint. The 

 fiilvons median spot at the a,pex. of the prouotum varies in size, and in one of 

 the ¥ ¥ there is a fnlvescent spot before the apex of each elytrnni. All three 

 specimens have a fnlvous pygidinm. L. afer comes nearest in size and shape to 

 L. proridiis Fahrs. (1839), but the rostrnm is shorter, being apically broader than 

 it is long. There is a donlile tuft of black pubescence on the basal callosity of the 

 elytrum, and the third and fifth interspaces bear, moreover, four or live smaller 

 tufts, the posterior ones being especially small.
