This iiiteresliug and very distinct form appears to beloni^ to the 

 same section of the genus as the L. salpingoides and L. productus 

 of Grouvelle. It diflfers from the latter, to which it is most nearly- 

 allied, in colour, in the position of the markings on the elytra and 

 in having the prothorax slightly narrowed behind. The apical 

 joint of the antennse in L. Ramsayi is as long as three preceding 

 ones together. 



I am indebted to Mr. Masters for the oppoi'tunity of describing 

 this species.

17. L^MOPHLCEUS ARTICEPS, Sp. n. (A.M.) 



Elongate, depressed, reddish testaceous, shining ; head rather 

 narrow ; prothorax slightly narrowed behind, the lateral stria 

 distinct and feebly sinuate in the middle ; elytra much broader 

 than the prothorax, with the base and an irregular fascia behind 

 the middle pitchy black. 



Head transverse, narrowed and slightly emarginate in front, 

 finely and closely punctured, with an indistinct longitudinal 

 impression in the middle ; clypeus rounded in front ; mandibles 

 moderately prominent, extremely finely punctured. Antennse 

 con.siderab]y longer than the head and prothorax together, reddish 

 testaceous, the last three joints slightly darker than the others. 

 Prothorax strongly transverse, considerably broader than the head 

 in front, only slightly narrowed posteriorly, finely and closely
