108 Psyche [August 
This conspicuously marked species is nearest L. snodgrassi Kell. 
(of humming-bird) and L. stramineus Denny (of woodpecker), 
but from both of these our species is very distinct. 
Description of Female. Total length, 1.62 mm.; length of head, 
477 mm.; length of prothorax, .108 mm.; length of metathorax 
-162 mm.; length of abdomen, .882 mm.;, width of head across 
temples, .342 mm.; width of prothorax, .270 mm.; width of meta- 
thorax, .360 mm.; width of abdomen, .432 mm. 
Head fully a third longer than wide, rhombic-rectangular in 
outline, forehead slightly narrowed to the wide, rounded front, 
temples converging rotundately to the very slightly concave occi- 
put. Antennal sinuses rather shallow. Trabeculee quite promi- 
nent. Ocular projections not very noticeable. Antennal bands 
extremely conspicuous as wide, dark areas bordering the forehead, 
but paling anteriorly and interrupted across the frontal margin 
by the large, quadrilateral, clear area before the mandibles; con- 
tinuing paler around the antennal bases to the temporal marginal 
bands which are as dark as the antennal bands but somewhat 
narrower; both of these bands are bordered inwardly by conspicu- 
ous pustulations. Occipital border without color. Backward 
pointing bars resembling occipital bands extend from the antennal 
bands part way to the occiput. An obelisk-shaped occipital signa- 
ture plainly visible. A strong hair at each angle of the frontal 
border, two shorter hairs before each trabecula, a prickle on the 
eye, two long hairs on the hind portion of temples, a pair of prickles 
dorsally on the forehead, and a similar pair dorsally between the 
eyes. Excepting the antennal, temporal and occipital bands, the 
mandibles, the cesophageal sclerite and the occipital signature, 
and the smoky temples, the head color is transparent. Antennze 
normal, segments 1, 3, 4 and 5 smoky banded. 
Thorax one-third again as wide as long. Prothorax rectangular 
with front and hind margins almost straight. A strong hair at 
each posterior lateral angle. Wide, dark, submarginal bands 
extending nearly to occipital signature, within which are underlying 
smoky areas, separated by a median clear area. Metathorax 
quite strongly diverging to the twice weakly emarginated pos- 
terior border. A strong and a weak spine at each angle, and a 
transverse series of twelve long hairs along the hind margin. In- 
ward curving, black, submarginal bands, further bordered by
