same time much moi-e dee])ly impressed) aud by the different 

 relative lengths of the third and fourth joints of the antennae ; 

 in L. virgata the third joint is nearly equal in length to the 

 fourth, in the present species it is distinctly shorter. 



Crioceris discrepens. 



Elongata, sub-cyUndrica, picea, nitida, subtus aureo-sericea, 

 thorace sat elongato, cyliudrico, lateribus leviter constrictis, 

 disci medio et lateribus anticis tenuiter punctato ; scutello 

 aiireo-sericeo ; elytris thorace multo latioribus, anguste oblongis 

 et ad apicem pauUo atteuuatis, basi obsolete elevatis, infra basin 

 transversim depressis, foveolato-striatis, striis ad latera A'alde 

 interruptis, pone medium deletis. 



Mas. Anteunis sat robustis, corpore longitudini paullo hve- 

 vioribus, articuhs cylindricis, intermediis paullo rompressis.

Hab. Siam, Mountains of Laos. 



Face elongate, neck deeply constricted, vertex aud front 

 nitidc)us, impunctate, the latter impressed Avith a longitudinal 

 groove; orbit of eyes and lower face closely punctured ; antennaa 

 robust, nearly equal to the body in length, the joints cylindrical, 

 the fifth to the ninth very slightly compressed and laterally 

 dilated. Thorax about a fifth longer than broad, cylindrical, 

 constricted at the extreme apex, sides armed behind the latter 

 with a small obtuse tiibercle; broadly but not deeply con.stricted 

 in the middle, upper edge of the constriction bounded by a 

 distinct longitudinal ridge, immediately 'above which is a longi- 

 tudinal groove ; sm-face nitidous, very minutely punctured, a 

 loi:gitudinal space on the middle disc, together with the sides 

 near the anterior angles more distinctly punctured ; at the base 

 are several faint ill-defined transverse grooves. Scutellum 

 narrowly oblong, aureo-sericeous. Elytra much broader than 

 the thorax, narrowly oblong, slightly attenuated towards the 

 apex, very slightly thickened at the base, transversely excavated 

 below the basilar space, foveolate-punctate, the punctures 

 arranged in longitudinal roAvs, the rows on the sides are 

 much interrupted and all below the middle entirely obsolete. 

 Thighs thickened, the hinder pair nearly reaching to the apex 

 of the elytra, abdomen Avith four longitudinal roAvs of patches of 

 aureo-sericeous hairs. 



From C. semipnnctata, the only species Avith Avhich it can be 

 confoimded, it is knoAvn by its narroAver form, by its larger 

 thorax, longer and more slender antenuEe, and by the golden 

 colour of the pubescence on the scutellum and under siirfnce 

 of the body.
