70 Psyche [June 



one of the ocelli; medially with two closely approximate, punctate, 

 grooved lines. Prosternum with sparse, rather large punctures; 

 mesosternum smooth. Propleura closely, irregularly punctate 

 below, above which is a coarsely, transversely, striate impression; 

 upper angle with some irregular, coarse sculpture. Mesopleura 

 smooth, convex, except for a furrow next the tegula, a broader 

 one not far below the first and a deep foveate impression at 

 the middle just before the posterior edge. Metapleura with scat- 

 tered, setigerous punctures; spiracle small, nearly round; subspiracu- 

 lar groove very finely impressed. Abdomen as long as the thorax, 

 subacute at tip and much swollen at the middle; first segment with 

 four short carinse at base, the lateral ones close to the margin, its 

 surface with a few poorly impressed large punctures, more notice- 

 able laterally; median portion nearly flat; second and following 

 segments entirely smooth; second with its middle portion, defined 

 by a punctate line, broadly transversely oval, more than twice 

 as wide as long; from the side of this an oblique punctate furrow 

 extends backward to the margin and another one directly forward, 

 these defining a large side piece and a small triangular depressed 

 area at the anterior edge between the sidepiece and the central 

 oval space; corners of following segments not distinctly separated; 

 hind margin of third segment weakly sinuate. Legs very stout; 

 middle and hind tarsi no longer than their tibise; tibial spurs very 

 short; claws simple; front tibise with a row of stout spinules on the 

 front side. Radial cell ending considerably before the wing tip, 

 third section of radius nearly twice as long as the other two 

 together; second more than twice as long as the first and scarcely 

 longer than the second transverse cubitus; submedian cell longer 

 than the median by nearly the length of the nervulus which is very 

 slightly oblique; parallel vein originating at the lower corner of the 

 third discoidal cell ; recurrent nervure entering the first cubital cell 

 far before the apex; second cubital with almost parallel sides and 

 weakly narrowed above. Radial cell of hind wing without indica- 

 tion of a cross- vein, the discoidal vein (originating at the lower end 

 of the basal vein) not transverse except at base, sharply bent and 

 extending toward the apex of the wing. 



Type from St. Marc, Hayti. 



Although very similar to L. cressonii, this species differs notice- 

 ably in the sculptured pronotum and punctate furrows on the sec-
