■";';;•'* Upper Renging, 2150 ft. ) 



Description. — Length 15-17 mm. Differs from L. dentatus in the following respects 

 only. Head and mandibles as in L. humerosns except that the parietal ridges are some- 

 what longer and the frontal areas always semicircular. Mesosternum very variable ; 

 rough or polished; in the latter case always,' in the former usually, with some large 

 punctures. Central area of metasternum more or less strongly punctured; inter- 

 mediate areas often somewhat broader in their narrowest part, with the outer margin 

 frequently somewhat imperfectly defined. Posterior parts of hind coxae usually quite 

 rough. Abdominal sterna usually more extensively punctured than in L. dentatus, 

 sometimes the whole of the last two and the greater part of the rest punctured. All 

 lateral ribs of elytra of about equal width. 



Habits. — Mr. Kemp informs me that he got this species from under very thin 

 bark, tightly attached to the logs it covered. He only found it on the crest of the 

 ridge at Renging.

 one of them from an altitude of 3200 ft.

 closely resembling in general appearance the much smaller form L. cyclofaeniiis 

 subsp. himalayae, from which it differs in the following respects only. Angle of outer 

 side of mandible obsolete. Parietal ridges of head move as in. L. cyclotaenius ; outer 

 tubercles rudimentary, situated about twice as far from anterior angles of head as from 

 the long inner tubercles. Mesosternum as in L. humerosns, but with the scars and 

 dull lateral bands less sharply defined. Central area of metasternum unpunctured. 

 Posterior parts of hind coxae polished.
