GTMNOCEEATA. 
GEODEOMICA. 
Section 5. — Ltg^ina. 
Family 1. — Ltgj:idje. 
Mead — 5-sided, triangular in front ; antenniferous tubercles obtuse. 
AntenncB, 1st joint shortest, the others of nearly equal thickness. 
Eyes sessile. Pronotum trapezoidal. Legs moderate, anterior 
thighs scarcely stouter than the others, unarmed. 
Genus 1. — LxGiEus, Fab. 
Elliptic, flat above, outer sides of the elytra subparallel. 
Head convex. Face, sides slightly concave, central lobe narrow, short ; 
cheek-plates broad, parallel. Antennce, 1st joint rather the 
thickest, about half the length of the 2nd, nearly half the length 
extending beyond the apex of the face ; 2nd longest, 2nd and 3rd 
slightly thickened at the apex, 3rd and 4th in length subequal, 4th 
long — fusiform. Eyes posteriorly touching tlie pronotum, laterally 
projecting a little beyond its anterior angles. Ocelli much nearer 
to the eyes than to each other. Bostrtim reaching beyond the 
middle coxa>, 1st joint longer than the head, the base in a channel, 
1st and 2nd joints longest, subequal, 3rd and 4 shorter, subeq\ial. 
Thorax — Pronotum trapezoidal, in front with a transverse, much 
sinuate, linear depression. Scutellum long, triangular, sides 
slightly sinuate, base much depressed. Elytra — clavus and eorimn 
on the same plane, claval suture depressed ; cerium, from the 
inner side of the 1st nerve, at about half its length, a nerve is 
given off, and extends to the posterior margin, the 2nd chief nerve 
broadly furcate at the end ; membrane with five nerves, the 1st 
short, 2nd and 3rd gradually divergent, 4th and 5th sinuate, con- 
nected at some distance from their origin by a transverse nervure, 
thus forming a large irregular basal cell, whence the nerves continue 
to the inner margin. Mesosternum much depressed in the middle 
June, 1867.
