2G4 Mr. D. Sharp's Contributions to the 



tinctly but not greatly narrowed beliind, tlio front anj^les 

 obtuse and not much rounded, the colour })itchy, similar 

 to that of the head ; the ^^urface densely covered Avith fine 

 asperities, along the middle Avith a fine channel, which 

 docs not I'cach the front, but is continued to the fi'ont as a 

 very fine, smooth line. Elytra a good deal longer than 

 the thorax, rusty testaceous, their sculptiu-e similar to that 

 of the thorax ; along the middle of each two indistinct 

 abbreviated lines. Hind body dusky ferruginous, very 

 densely and finely punctui-cd. Legs yellow; front tarsi a 

 little dilated, hind tarsi with the 4th joint small and quite 

 sim])lc. 



Ega; a single individual, in which I perceive no ex- 

 ternal character to indicate the sex. 



15. Lifhochco'is eqcna,n. sp. Fen'uginca, dense punc- 

 tata, levit(!r nitidula, antennis pedibusque testaeeis ; 

 thorace basin versus angustato, medio canaliculato, elytris 

 thorace paulo longioribus. Long. corp. H liu. 



Antenna} moderately long, yelloAv, setose ; the two 

 basal joints stout, the rest very slender ; 3rd joint dis- 

 tinctly longer than 4th. Head leather large, slightly 

 broader than the thorax, didl fuscous, or obscure red; the 

 hind angles a little rounded, the vertex about straight, the 

 surface densely, finely and indistinctly punctured, only 

 slightly shining. The mandibles have each two teeth in 

 the middle, and the lalnnun two distinct, contiguous 

 denticles in the middle. The thorax is not so long as 

 broad, the ft'ont is rounded, the sides much narrowed 

 behind, obscure red ; the surface closely covered with fine 

 asperities, but still a little shining, the basal part with a 

 fine channel -along the middle, which, though deep at the 

 extreme base, is very indistinct on tlie middle, and does 

 not reach the front. Elvti-a onlv a little lonii^er than the 

 thorax, obscure reddish, slightly shining, their sculpture 

 similar to that of the thorax, but not quite so close. 

 Hind body very densely and finely punctured. I^egs 

 yelhnv; the front tarsi stout, but not dilated. 



Amazons ; a single individual, of doubtful sex, without 

 special locality. 



The species is smaller than L. tpiadrutn, is not so dull, 

 and can be readily distinguished l>y the simple front 

 tarsi.
