 ching eyes ataboiit Uioir lowei- thini. Antennaî thin and moderately 

 long. Prothora\ sti'ongly transverse, sides strongly rounded ; with 

 obtuse and usually isolated tubercles, médian impi'ession shallow 

 and irregular. Elytra briefly ovate, feebly conjoinlly arcnate at 

 base, wilh double rows ol'fairly large but partially concealed punc-

 side with a small Catasarcus-Vike tubercle behind the shoulder.

The tubercles on tlie suture are small and distinct, except at the 

 base, on the third interstice there are from eight to ten, obtuse at 

 the base aud becomiiig conical and acute (but never very large) 

 posterlorly, on the titth there are from six to eight, also becoming 

 more acute posteriorly, on the seventh there are four or tive, but 

 of thèse the larger ones are close to the base; the other interstices 

 are somewhat undulating so that in places they might fairly be 

 regarded as obtusely tubercidate. The female iliffers from the maie 

 in being largei-, wider, with more obtuse tubercles and shorterlegs.

 culate. From the spécimen I bave named as L humeralis itdiffersin 

 the rostrum not being grooved along middle, and in the tubercles.

Head excavated between eyes. Bostrum short and stout, strongly 

 carinated along middle; intermediate carinaî raised and thickened 

 atbase. Sublateral sulci short, closed behind. Scrobes shallow and 

 indistinct behind, narrow and deep in front. Antennic thin, scape 

 rather short, second joint of funicle much longer than first. 

 Prothorax rather widely transverse, sides strongly and almost 

 evenly rounded, with numerous small rounded tubercles having 

 very little tendency to beconie vermiculate, médian impression 

 feeble (except in front) and obtusely carinated. Elytra widely 

 ovate, conjointly arched at base; punctures more or less concealed, 

 but evidently not large; with numerous tubercles. Front tibiœ 

 edentate. — • Length 14 mill.

The thickened iiortions of the intermediate carin.'o could 

 scarcely be called tuborcles, Ihey are distant from each olhei' and 

 do not merge into the head as in most species, although not so
