Hah. — Q.: Cairns District (Dodd). Unique, in Coll. Sloane. 



I received a single specimen from Mr. F. P. Dodd, taken by 

 him in the Cairns District. It differs from L. cinctum Macl., 

 by colour prothorax red, not brownish with lateral margins 

 bluish; elytra wholly of a black-blue colour — ; head, prothorax, 

 and elytra less hairy; head stouter, with more prominent, hemi- 

 spherical eyes. The shape of the prothorax, and the sculpture of 

 the elytra are similar in both species.
