<£ clypeo antice inagis fortiter reflexo inagis abrupte truncato, 



tarsis multo crassioribus. [Long. 3,1, lat. It lines. 



The following characters in combination will distinguish this 



species I think from all its previously described congeners : — 



antenme having only 8 joints, clypeus having three truncate faces, 



front tibia3 normally tridentate externally, 2nd joint of hind tarsi 



much less than twice as long as basal joint. 



Probably this insect is nearest to L. ferrugineus, Blanch., but it 

 has a facies very different from that species and very distinct 

 characters, — inter alia the sides of the clypeus are strongly oblique 

 in both sexes, and the femora and tibiae are uniformly of dark 

 colour.
