The antennae in this species are formed as in L. quadricoUis, a 

 Japanese species (of which a figure will be found in the Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. Lond., 1883, t. 17, f. 5 and 6), excepting that those of the 

 female are nearly of the same length as those of the male, and the 

 fourth to the tenth joints are much more developed than in the 

 female of L. quadricoUis, being widely triangular, and becoming 

 more acutely serrate as they approach the apex. The thorax is 

 wider than in that species, the entire margin elevated, the anterior 

 angles rounded, the sides a little contracted to the hind angles, but 

 not so much so as to prevent those angles being right angles ; the 

 thorax is brick-red, with only the disk either infuscate or with a
