Described from the female and the male is still unknown. This 

 is a distinct form, readily identifiable by the dull and densel}^ 

 sculptured pronotum, with unusually strong lateral serrulation, 

 broad form and coarse sparse elytral punctures. Three speci- 

 mens. 



8. L.. pleiilis u. sp. — Elongate-oval, strongly convex, polished, black, 

 without metallic lustre; legs throughout and antenna; black, the second joint 

 of the latter piceous; pubescence short, sparse, feebly- persistent and denuded 

 in large irregular areas on the elytra. Head fully three-fourths as wide as the 

 prothorax, finely but deeply, sparsely perfora to-punctate, the interspaces flat 

 and somewhat rugose especially toward the eyes, the latter rather large but 

 not prominent and situated near the base; frontal impressions broad and dis- 

 tinct; antenniE slender, quite distinctly longer than the prothorax, the tenth 

 joint about as long as wide. Prothorax two-fifths wider than long, the sides 

 evenly and moderately convergent and feebly arcuate from near the base to 

 the obtuse and somewhat rounded apical angles; apex broadly arcuato-trun- 

 cate and wider than the peduuculiform part of the base, which is more pro- 

 nounced than usual; disk widest at basal third, moderately coarsely, deeply 

 and very closely perforato-punctate, scabrous and opaque in lateral fourth; 

 punctures separated h\ barely their own dimensions, the narrow interspaces 

 sparsely and feebly punctulate. Elytra three-fourths longer than wide, fully 

 one-third wider than the prothorax, parallel, acutely parabolic in apical third, 

 coarsely and rather sparsely punctate, much more finely so toward apex. 

 Length 3.0 mm. ; width 1.2 mm.

The single female t^pe represents a species which cannot 

 readily be confounded with any other known to me, being allied 

 to densicollis only in the ver^- close punctuation of the prono- 

 tum, but dittering remarkably in its relatively lars:er head and 

 ver}^ much more slender antennae; the sides of the prothorax are 

 less convergent anteriorly than in densicollis, as might be infer- 

 red from the large head. 



9. Li. subaeiieus n. sp. — Moderately elongate and convex, polished, 

 with feeble cupreo-a-neous lustre; legs throughout and antenna; black, the 

 second joint of the latter feebly testaceous; pubescence moderately short, 

 sparse, denuded in large spots on the elytra and readily removable. Head 

 three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, the eyes somewhat prominent; punc- 

 tures fine and rather sparse ; frontal impressions widely separated, very deep 

 and less diffuse than usual ; antenna; slender, very much longer than the 

 prothorax, the tenth joint about as long as wide and slightly asynnnetric. 

 Prothorax short, rather more than one-half wider than long, widest near basal 

 third, the sides moderately convergent, becoming straight in apical half, dis- 

 tinctly serrulate; apex broadly arcuato-truncate, much wider than the pedun-
