1878.] g5 



The thorax is rather broad, narrowed anteriorly, much rounded at the sides 

 posteriorly, the posterior angles very much rounded, the base is broadly but very 

 gently sinuate, nearly straight. The elytra have two or three elongate punctures at 

 the base, and have each two pairs of fine strise beyond the middle, not reaching to 

 the apex. The scutellar region and the apical third are black, the rest is dark 

 yellow, except the shoulders, which are reddish. The pygidium is transverse, closely 

 and finely strigose. The anterior tibiae have two sharp teeth. 



This species is shorter than L. bina, with a broader thorax ; the punctures at 

 the base of the elytra are not so long, the impression behind the middle is very 

 slight, and the pairs of fine strise are shorter.

 Viridis, aiireo-micans, Jiitidissima ; singulo elytro striis qitatuor, externis 

 parum distinctis ; pygidio convexo, parce punctato, utrinque macula alba

Head rather thickly and distinctly punctured, clypeus broadly and not deeply 

 emarginate. Thorax a little longer than its width at the base, gently convex, rather 

 sparingly punctm-ed, nearly smooth on the disc, strongly obliquely narrowed in fi-ont 

 of the middle, strongly sinuate behind the middle, the base gently arcuate, the 

 margins nowhere incrassate. Scutellum broad at the base, very acuminate at the 

 apex, very obscurely punctulate. Elytra at the shoulders much broader than the 

 thorax, strongly constricted below the shoulders, flat, each with four strise, the 1st a 

 complete impunctate stria, the 2nd abbreviated and interrupted, the 3rd and 4th 

 more obscure, consisting of a line of punctures. Pygidium rather convex, with a 

 few punctures scattered over the surface (the ? with rather more), with a large 

 white spot on each side. Legs violet, femora beneath green. 



(J . Anterior tibise with two teeth. Abdomen with a mesial impression, clothed 

 with white, having a line of green spots on each side of the impression, and at the 

 sides of the segments. 



9 . Anterior tibiae with three teeth. Abdomen green, with white patches at 

 the sides. 



Ptgoba Cowani, sp. n.

 albo-maculato, segmento sexto violaceo, crebre punctato. $ . Long. 7 I'm. 



Differs from the $ of the preceding, besides the coloration of the elytra and 

 legs, in being a little broader, each elytron has three nearly complete strise, and the 

 4th is short and composed of rather close punctures. The pygidium is strongly 

 transverse, deep blue, with an elongate longitudinal blunt tubercle in the middle, 

 and a smaller transverse one on each side below the white spot. The 6th abdominal 

 segment is thickly striate-punctate below.
