or almost obliquely truncate at the apex and irregularly punctate,

Ovate, black, nitid, above glabrous, beneath thinly cinereo- 

 villose. Head minutely punctate, the clypeus thinly punctate and

 bordered at the base, sides, apex and suture with black, rather 

 minutely punctate with three geminate striae. The pygidium is 

 glabrous and punctate, the propygidium is half-covered by the 

 elytra. Legs piceous, the anterior tibiae very strongly tridentate,

Trans. Ent. Soc. New South Wales, Vol. II. p. 192. 



This species only differs from L. Icevatus (glaber mihi) in being 

 smaller, in having the pygidium and under side of the body black, 

 and in having a narrow lateral black margin on the elytra. Both 

 species have the same peculiarly formed fore tibiae, more like those 

 of a Dipliucephala than of a Liparetrus,

 Entirely of a pale red, excepting the forehead, which is generally
