 and with scattered black speckles on posterior half ; head beneath

Hah. Southern India ; Travancore {Bnt. Mus.). 



This species is intermediate between the Malayan L. tuherculi- 

 frons, Walk., and L. mutica, Fabr. It is allied to the first by the 

 granulate anterior area of the vertex and resembles both in its 

 elongate form, but differs by the prominently raised laminate 

 processes to the pronotum.
