The unique example is a, male and has the fifth ventral fiat, 

 completely unmodified, with the usual sparse decumbent pubes- 

 cence, and with the apex broadly truncate. The antennae are un- 

 usually long, and this is probably a specific character, as I have 

 not been able to note much variability- in this organ due to sex. 



11. L. pardali!^ n. sp. — Oblong-oval, convex, polished, l)lack witli a 

 feeble aeneous lustre; legs black, the antennie black or piceous-black, with the 

 second Joint not distinctly paler, the basal joint large and deep hlack; pubes- 

 cence moderately short, coarse, rather sparse, arranged in a complex pattern 

 on the elytra, of which a narrow une\'en fascia at apical third is particularly 

 noticeable. Head fully two-thirds as wide as the prothorax, the eyes rather 

 large but not very prominent ; punctures somewhat fine and well separated, 

 the interspaces flat and smooth toward the middle; frontal impressions broad 

 but distinct; antennae about one-fourth longer than the prothorax, somewhat 

 slender, the tenth joint as long as wide and scarcely asymmetric. Prothorax 

 transverse, one-half wider than long, the sides feebly convergent and straight 

 in apical half to the broadly rounded angles, becoming parallel and feebly 

 arcuate posteriorly ; apex Ijroadly arcuato-truncate, much wider than the jjeduu- 

 culiform part of the base, which is pronounced ; disk strongly and closely per- 

 forato-pttuctate, the interspaces flat and smooth to^^•ard the middle, scabrous 

 and opaque in distinctly less than lateral fourth. Etijtra nearly twice as long 

 as wide, scarcely wider than the prothorax toward base but feel)ly inflated in 

 apical half, very obtusely and subcircularly rounded liehind ; punctures moder- 

 ately large and somewhat sparse. Legs moderate, the hind tarsi long and 

 slender, almost as long as the tibiae. Length 3.25 mm. ; width 1.25 mm.

The single type is a female. In this species the pattern of 

 cinereous hairs on the elytra is better defined and with the pubes- 

 cence apparently' more persistent than in those which precede, 

 and it is further remarkable in having the fringe at the sides of 

 the prothorax composed of hairs which are longer, stifter and 

 darker than usual, and in the posterior inflation of the elytra.

Female rather stout and convex, the male more slender; body 

 densel}' and uniformly clothed with moderately long, subdecum- 

 bent, coarse and dense cinereous hairs, the integuments black, 

 polished, the punctures of the head and pronotum densely and 

 polygonally crowded and rugulose though shallow, of the eiN'tra 

 coarse, deep and close-set; legs and antenna^ black throughout, 

 the latter slightly longer than the prothorax, with a distinct
