than in L. Mouhoti ; lower edge of clypeiis and the labruni 

 black. Thorax not broader than long, sub-cylindrical ; sides 

 strongly constricted in the middle, the fimdus of the constriction 

 broad and forming at its npper end a distinct angle with the 

 disc ; npper surface deeply impressed at some distance behind 

 its middle with a broad transverse sulcation, surface miniitely 

 punctured, the puncturing on a longitudinal space on the 

 middle disc, and on either side near the anterior angle, more 

 distinct than on the rest of the surface. Scutelluni similar 

 in form and coloration to L. Mouhoti. Elytra' much broader 

 than the thorax, broadly oblong, convex, somewhat depressed 

 along the suture, distinctly excavated below the basilar space, 

 regularly punctate-striate, the interspaces plane, impressed here 

 and there with very minute punctures, moderately convex at 

 the apex ; the punctures on the stria3 on the anterior disc very 

 large and deeply impressed, those on the hinder disc miicli 

 smaller and shallower. 



I have named this species after my friend ]\Ir. S. Stevens, 

 through whom I formerly received it.

Anguste oblouga, la?te rufo-testacea, nitida, femoribus a^iice

 pra3termisso) nigris ; thorace longitudine vix latiori, lateribus 

 medio sat profunde constrictis, disco lasvi, medio hneatim punc- 

 tato, ante basin transversim sulcato ; elytris oblougis, iufi-a 

 basin transversim excavatis, for titer punctato-striatis, interstitiis 

 planis, ad apicem vix convexiusculis ; metallico-ca^ruleis, utrisque

Head trigonate, shining, im2:iunctate ; neck constricted ; 

 antennjE filiform, nearly three-fourths the length of the body, 

 black, the basal joint rufo-testaceous. Thorax shghtly broader 

 than long, sides constricted in the middle, the apex of the 

 constriction obtuse ; above smooth and shining, impressed before 

 the base with a broad, deep, transverse sulcation, middle disc with 

 a broad vitta of minute punctures scarcely visible without a 

 lens. Scutelluni wedge-shaped, obscure rufous, its apex piceous, 

 obtusely truncate. Elytra much broader than the thorax, 

 oblong, convex, slightly flattened along the suture, transversely 

 excavated below the basilar space, regularly punctate-striate, 

 the ninth stria from the suture entire ; the punctures on the 

 basilar sjiace and on the transverse depression large and deeply
