LATOLiEVA INCENSA. 77 



Differs from L. Ferrarii Reitter i) , according to the descrip- 

 tion , in being larger , more highly polished , and in having 

 the elytra regularly punctate-striate. 



Mr. Reitter's figure of L. ovalis (Verh. naturf. Ver. 

 Brünn. XIV". pi. 2. fig. 33) does not agree with the type 

 of that species; the head as represented by him being 

 much too broad (thus approaching L. incensa) , the pro- 

 thorax not sufficiently long , and the emargination too deep. 

 The prothorax in L. ovalis is 2^3 times as broad as the 

 head ; and its length in the middle is equal to the width 

 of the head. In other respects , the figure agrees best , 

 although but indifferently, with Mac Leay's species. 



Gaurambe Reitteri, n. sp. 



Oblong , slightly convex , somewhat narrowed in front , 

 pale ferruginous, shining, sparingly clothed with yellowish 

 grey pubescence, the margins reddish testaceous. Head 

 more than twice as broad as long, finely and closely 

 punctured, very slightly impressed just behind the middle. 

 Mandibles with the tips black. Antennae reddish testace- 

 ous. Prothorax about three times as broad as long , mo- 

 derately strongly emarginate in front , finely and not very 

 closely punctured , rather more closely so at the sides ; 

 anterior angles slightly obtuse ; sides regularly and strongly 

 rounded; posterior angles acute and slightly prominent. 

 Scutellum small, extremely finely punctured. Elytra at 

 the base slightly narrower than the prothorax, rather more 

 than twice as long as the head and prothorax together, 

 moderately strongly punctate-striate, the interstices very 

 narrow and smooth , the alternate ones considerably raised , 

 thus forming feeble costae ; anterior angles rounded ; sides 

 nearly parallel for two thirds of their length, then regu- 

 larly rounded to the apex. Under side paler than above, 

 almost the colour of the margins , very feebly punctured ;
