In this species the rostrum and crown of the head, the first four 

 joints of the antennse, and the whole of the body beneath, (the 

 breast being scarcely infuscate), and the bases of the femora are 

 yellow. The thorax is rhomboidal, the front raargin (of the <^) 

 much produced in the middle, carinate in front, the middle of the 

 disk is canaliculate, passing into a small keel near the base, the 

 sides narrow very much from the base, and are broadly refiexed, the 

 colour of the whole upper surface isbrick-red, with the exception of 

 a pale fuscous mark near the base of the thorax, almost divided, by 

 the short keel. The elytra hâve four distinct costae, the second 

 and fourth continued nearly to the apex, the first and third becoming 

 obsolète sooner, the interstices are finely coriaceous. 



A single spécimen. Allied to L. nigripes^ but the scutellum is 

 red, and it is a broader insect.
