possibly be a variety, as the piincluation of the ehtra and other 

 details agree verv nearl} ; the i)ieseiit species, of whieh thvee 

 specinions are belbre me, diders however in the black ajiex of 

 the tibiae and Ihe similarly coloured tarsi also in the want of 

 the fuscous ring round Ihc punctures (whieh in itself however 

 is no mark of distinction) and as the three specimens all agree 

 in these respeet I must consider them as distinet from Clark's 

 species. L. Utrgida Jac. from Gaboon has difl'erently coloured 

 and widened antennae. 



Gynandrophthalraa Weisel sp. n. 



Reddish-fulvous, the terminal joints of the antennae and 

 the abdomen (partly) blackish, thorax transverse, impunctate, 

 elytra distinetly punctured, in closely approached, irregulär rows, 

 with a large subquadrate black spot below the middle. 



Length 41/2—5 mill. 



Of posteriorly slightly widened shape, the head impunctate, 

 rather flat, depressed between the eyes, the latter large, the base 

 of the clypeus bifoveolate, apex.of the mandibles black, antennae 

 extending beyond the base of the thorax, the second and third 

 Joint small, the foUowing trausversely widened, the lower four 

 joints fulvous, the othcrs blacki-h^ thorax nearly twice and 

 a half broadcr tlian long, tlightly uarro\Aed anteriorly, the sides 

 and the i)Osterior angles rounded, narrowly margined, the median 

 lobe slight, nearly straight, preceded by an obsolete, obhque, 

 distinctly punctured depression at each side, the rest of the 

 surface impunctate, fulvous, shining, scutelluni broad, triangulär, 

 its u})ex pointed; elytra subcylindrical. rather strongly ])unctured 

 in closely approiiehed, irngular rows anteriorly, the punctures 

 nearly obsolete near the apcx, below the middle a subquadrate 

 black patch is placed whicli is farther removed from the suture 

 than the lateral margins and is of slightly wider shape at the 

 latter place, the patch is abijreviated at some distance from the 

 apex; below and the Icgs fulvous, the sides of the llrst and the
