Long. 7 mm., rostr. I5, elytr. 4J, lat. 2J. 



The lateral anteocular carina of the rostrum joining the carinula which borders 

 above the antennal groove, thus appears to be continued to the apex of the rostrum ; 

 the median smooth line of the apex of the rostrum is sometimes absent. 



The oblique lateral part of the prothoracie carina stands almost at right angles 

 to the transversal dorsal part, with the tip of the angle rounded.

L.jMviei Lesne (Bull. Soc. E. Fr., 1 S'.tl , p. 1 ) is similar in pattern. The new sjiecies 

 differs from L. paviei in having the pronotum impunctate, the third and fifth elytral 

 interspaces not costate, the antennae .and legs much louger, the tibiae uni-, not lii- 

 annulate, the tarsi unicolorous, the first abdominal segment of 6 with cariniform 

 tubercle, etc. Litocerus sdlatus Pasc. comes also somewhat near the new species in 

 having a pubescent yellowish patch on the basal half of the elytra.
