Luciola pallescens, n. sp. 



Pallide testacea capite, antennis, tibiis anticis tarslsque 

 fuscis, thorace perbrevi, disco convexo angulis posticis 

 productis, acutis, maculis tribus una discoidali, duabus 

 basalibus, et margine frontali piceis, elytris crebre punc-

Mas. — Abdominis segmento ventrali apicali semicir- 

 culari. 



Femina. — Segmento sexto profunde exciso, septimo 

 bicarinato. 



Readily recognised by its large size and depressed form ; 

 the antennfe in the male are about half the body's length. 

 The last three segments are shining, and paler thnn the 

 rest of the abdomen, and are no doubt the luminous 

 portion.

Luciola costijpennis, n. sp. 



Flavo-testacea, capite, antennis, pedibus (femorum basi 

 exceptis), apiceque, nigris, elytris costa humerali distincta, 

 ad apicem fere provecta. 



Long. lin. 3, 



Clear testaceous yellow, about the size of L. Goudoti, 

 thorax transverse subquadrate, a little narrowed at the 

 anterior angles, channelled, hind angles very slightly 

 produced backwards ; deeply punctured, but not so coarsely 

 as the elytra, in which the punctures are large, ocellated, 

 and sometimes confluent; the humeral costa is very raised, 

 and divides the elytron into two flat arere; the suture and 

 margin are both raised.

Ohs. — This species belongs to the vespertina group, but 

 is so easily distinguished by its costate elytra I have 

 thought it better to keep it separate.
