Hah. India. (My collection.) 



A small species which may be known by the fulvous tubercles at 

 the vertex, the deep elytral depression and the black under side 

 and legs, it bears a great resemblance to L. hituberculata Clark from

 apex. 



Length 6 mill. 



Closely allied to the preceding species, but different in the fol-

 into a divided elevation but flat and the black colour of the lower 

 portion extends upwards between the eyes, the latter are very 

 feebly notched, the antennae resemble the preceding species as 

 well as the shape of the thorax, but the last named part is dark blue, 

 not black and has some fine punctures placed at the middle and 

 anteriorly, the elytral depression is less deep and more obsolelely 

 limited, lastly, the legs are fulvous and the tarsi obscure fus- 

 cous.
