Testaceo-brunneus, thorace senaicii-culari, tenuiter cari- 

 nato, disco sub-rugose punctato, nigro, margine antico et 

 limbo laterali testaceo, angulis posticis paululum acutis ; 

 el3'tns obsolete costatis, ad apicem gradatim attenuatis, 

 abdominis apicc et segmentorum quatuor marginibusnigris; 

 antcnnarum apice denticulis minutis nonnullis, et mucrone 

 unica instructis.

The e3^es occupy the greater part of the head, but are 

 separated by the crown, which is strongly concave. The 

 antennte have the basal joint stout, obliquely truncate ; the 

 second is as long and nearly as stout ; the third much 

 narrower ; conico-cylindrical, about the same length, the 

 fourth, fifth and sixth longer than wide ; from this point 

 to the apex the joints are reduced in length, becoming 

 transverse, the apical one short, ovate, and with a central 

 slightly curved mucro. 



Only seven segments are clearly discernible below, but 

 the penis appears to have a two-lobed appendage at its 

 base, which is perhaps really the eighth.

Ohs. — This species appears from his description to re- 

 semble L. Boyel, Mots., but in addition to the different 

 Hah., the antennce are not bi-mucronate. In some speci- 

 mens the p3'gidium and preceding segment project beyond 

 the elytra, but in a small example are covered.

This species differs from L. nepalensis by the very short 

 lunate thorax, of which the hind-angles are much more
