——- 
Marte.—Unknown. 
Frematre.—Antennal club.small, much shorter than the funiculus. 
Last ventral segment broadly emarginate at apex. 
This species is based upon a single specimen taken by Mr, Schwarz, 
and now in his collection. It is evidently related to _/wsca, and agrees 
with it in all structural details. It is however well distinguished by the 
almost square clypeus, the punctuation of the head and elytra, and by 
the curiously parallel form. The genitalia are strongly characteristic and 
distinct. 
L. nova, sp. nov. 
Oblong, slightly broader behind, chestnut brown, shining. Clypeus moderately 
emarginate, the border narrowly reflexed, surface densely and coarsely punctured, 
the front less densely so. Thorax gradually narrowed from base to apex, sides feebly 
arcuate, the margin distinctly crenate, surface with distinct irregular punctures, 
sparse on the disc, where there are irregular smooth spaces, more densely and equally 
placed at the sides. Elytral punctures finer than those of the thorax, much more 
closely placed, somewhat rugulese, the cost feeble but evident. Pygidium sparsely, 
finely and indistinctly punctate. Metasternum densely punctured, the hair not long 
nor dense, shorter m the female. Abdomen sparsely punctate at the sides, the last 
two segments more coarsely. Claws curved, the tooth strong and median. Last 
joint of maxillary palpi fusiform, not impressed. Length, .65—.70 inch = 14—18 mm. 
Habuat—N. Y., Dist. Col., N.C. 
Mate.—Antennal club equal to or slightly longer than the funiculus. 
Abdomen slightly flattened at middle, penultimate segment with a 
distinct, arcuate, granulated ridge, behind which the segment is deeply 
impressed and punctured. Last segment with a cupuliform depression. 
Inner spur of hind tibia shorter. 
FrMALE.—Antennal club shorter than the funiculus. Penultimate 
segment with a linear impression close to and parallel with the hind 
margin. Hind tarsi slightly shorter than the male. 
This species is not uncommon at Washington, and has been very 
generally confounded with fraferna and /forstert, with which it agrees in 
all group characters. Apart from the primary differences in the male 
genitalia, this sex is always easily recognizable by the distinct arcuate 
ridge of the penultimate and cupuliform depression of the last segment. 
The same character is sometimes approached in the var. forster? but is 
never so distinct. The thoracic margin in both sexes is more distinctly 
crenate, though this too is indicated in some specimens of /ra/erna. 
L. hornii, sp. nov. 
Oblong oval, not broader behind, convex, very deep-brown or piceous, shining. 
Clypeus moderately deeply emarginate, rather more acutely in the female, margin 
narrowly reflexed, rather coarsely densely punctured, front scarcely less densely
