much larger, with relatively broader elytra and a smaller head. 

 The prothorax is decidedly, though broadly pedunculate at 

 base. 



Of this interesting species I took two specimens some years 

 since ; it is distinguishable at once from any other by the colora- 

 tion of the legs, opaque pronotum and uneven vestiture. 



29. L.. fanielicilS n. sp. — Elongate, narrow, convex, black, the upper 

 surface with a feeble subcupreous tinge, the head and pronotum opaque, the 

 elytra feebly shining and with faintly reticulate sculpture; legs bright red, the 

 tibiae near the base and tarsi slightly obscure; antenna? black, the funicle 

 piceo-testaceous toward base; pubescence irregular, sparse and rather tine an- 

 teriorly, the white hairs of the elytra wide, long, lanceolate and su1«quaniiform, 

 unevenly and sparsely niarmorate among the shorter slender blackish hairs to- 

 ward 1)ase, but forming a narrow condensed transverse fascia at apical third, 

 and also slightly evident toward apex ; remainder of the surface clothed sparsely 

 Avith much shorter and more slender dark hairs. Head four-fifths as wide as 

 the pi'othorax, densely punctato-rugose, the eyes rather large aniT prominent; 

 impressions subobsolete; antenna; somewhat thick, moderately incrassate, dis- 

 tinctly longer than the prothorax, the tenth joint as long as wide, the eleventh 

 oval and obtusely pointed as usual and nearly as long as the two preceding 

 combined. Prothorax moderatel}' transverse, one-half wider than long, widest 

 and somewhat narrowly rounded near basal third, the sides thence rather 

 strongly convergent and nearly straight to the obtuse but somewhat evident 

 apical angles; apex very broadly arcuato-truncate, the base broadly arcuate 

 and scarcely pedunculate ; disk very densely punctato-rugose. Scutellum quad- 

 rate, densely albido-pubescent. Elytra three-fourths longer than wide, only 

 very slightly wider than the prothorax, the apex rather acutely parabolic; 

 humeri blunt and right; disk strongly, evenly but moderately coarsely and 

 closely punctate. Lf^r.s somewhat short and stout. Length 1.8 mm.; width 

 0'65 mm. 



California (Los Angeles Co.). Mr. H. C. Fall. 



The single male before me is the type of an interesting and iso- 

 lated species, distinguishable from an}' other by the coarse and 

 scale-like lanceolate white hairs which are distributed very un- 

 evenly on the el3'tra ; the white hairs in the preceding species 

 are of the usual structure. The fifth ventral of the male is trun- 

 cate at apex but otherwise unmodified. Famelicus is the 

 smallest species of the genus discovered thus far. 



30. Li. oriiattllus n. sp. — Oblong-suboval, moderately convex, polished, 

 black with a scarcelj- perceptible aeneous lustre; legs black, the tarsi scarcely 

 picescent; antennae black, the second joint not distinctly paler; pubescence 

 moderately long, dense and coarse, of normal structure, the denuded areas
