Coleopterological Notices, VI. 549 



Described from the female and the male is still unknown. This 

 is a distinct form, readily identifiable l)y the dull and densely 

 sculptured pronotum, with unusually strong lateral serrulation, 

 broad form and coarse sparse elytral punctures. Three speci- 

 mens. 



8. I^. plemis n. sp. — Elongate-oval, strongl}' convex, polished, black, 

 without metallic lustre; legs throughout and antennaj black, the second joint 

 of the latter piceous; pubescence short, sparse, feebly persistent and denuded 

 in large irregular areas on the elytra. Head fully three-fourths as wide as the 

 prothorax, finely but deeply, sparsely perforato-puuctate, the interspaces flat 

 and somewhat rugose especially toward the eyes, the latter rather large but 

 not prominent and situated near the base; frontal impressions broad and dis- 

 tinct; antennae slender, quite distinctly longer than the prothorax, the tenth 

 joint about as long as wide. Prothorax two-fifths wider than long, the sides 

 evenly and moderately convergent and feebly arcuate from near the base to 

 the obtuse and somewhat rounded apical angles; apex l^roadly arcuatd-trun- 

 cate and wider than the pedunculiform part of the base, which is more pro- 

 nounced than usual ; disk widest at basal third, moderately coarsely, deeply 

 and very closely perforato-punctate, scabrous and opaque in latei-al fourth; 

 punctures separated by barely their own dimensions, the narrow interspaces 

 sparsely and feebly punctulate. Elytra three-fourths longer than wide, fully 

 one-third wider than the prothorax, parallel, acutely parabolic in apical third, 

 coarsely and rather sparsely punctate, much more finely so toward apex. 

 Length 3.0 mm.; width 1.2 mm.

The single female type represents a species which cannot 

 readily be confounded with any other known to me, being allied 

 to densicollis only in the very close punctuation of the prono- 

 tum, but dilfering remarkably in its relatively larger head and 

 ver3' much more slender antennce ; the sides of the prothorax are 

 less convergent anteriorly than in densicollis, as might be infer- 

 red from the large head. 



9. L,. subaeiieus n. sp. — ^Moderately elongate and convex, polished, 

 with feeble cupreo-a;neous lustre; legs throughout and antenmc black, the 

 second joint of the latter feebl^^ testaceous; pubescence moderately short, 

 .sparse, denuded in large spots on the elytra and readily removable. Head 

 three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, the eyes somewhat prominent; punc- 

 tures fine and rather sparse ; frontal impressions widely separated, very deep 

 and less diffuse than usual ; antennaj slender, very much longer than the 

 prothorax, the tenth joint about as long as wide and slightly asymmetric. 

 I'rotlinrax short, rather more than one-half \\ider than long, widest near basiil 

 third, the sides moderately convergent, becoming straight in apical half, dis- 

 tinctly serrulate; apex broadly arciiato-trunoate, much wiVler than the p<'dun-
