L. ellipticus niger dense pubescens, prothorace brevi transverso late-

duabus (una sce. basali, altera postmedia) rufo-testaceis ornatis, 
antennis pedibusque pallidis. 
Long. corp. lin. 14, 
LZ. of the same form and hue as the ZL. pictus, but much smaller, 
more densely pubescent, very much less deeply punctured (the 
punctures being scarcely visible on account of the pile), and with 
the elytra not striated. Prothoraz with its edges more narrowly, 
and less distinctly, pale, than in that species, nevertheless rather 
brightly testaceous about the posterior angles. Zlytra with two 
broad zigzag fasciee (viz., one at the base, and covering nearly the 
whole basal region, and the other a little behind the middle, —the 
latter of them being the straighter and better-defined of the two)
