134 MADEIRAN COLEOPTERA, 
L. oblong-ovate, of a shining brassy-green or greenish-brass, and 
deeply punctured all over,—especially on the elytra, Hyes promi- 
nent. Legs, and sub-basal joints of antenne, brownish-testaceous : 
the remainder of the antenne, the two posterior femora, and the 
base of the four anterior ones darker, or more picescent. Hinder 
tibie robust, and very spinulose externally ; gradually curved out- 
wards, from the base to the extreme apex (causing them to be 
inwardly bent in their central region); and with their terminal 
spur long and robust, as in the last species. 
Its metallic surface, in conjunction with the singular structure of its 
robust hinder tibize and tibial spur, will readily characterize the above 
interesting addition to our Catalogue. It was discovered in Porto 
Santo by Mr. Bewicke, who captured two specimens of it (one of 
which, presented by him, is now in the collection of the British 
Museum) during his residence in that island in December 1856.
