Hab. Singapore. 



Head deeply constricted behind the eyes, the latter prominent, 

 deeply notched ; face triangular ; antennae filiform, nearly three- 

 fourths the length of the body. Thorax scarcely broader than 

 long; its sides moderately constricted ; above smooth, a longitu- 

 dinal space down the middle impressed with a number of very 

 fine punctures ; just in front of the base is a single distinct fovea ; 

 on either side, running obliquely inwards and backwards from 

 the lateral constriction, is a short transverse groove. Scutellum 

 glabrous, elongate-trigonate, its apex truncate. Elytra much 

 broader than the thorax, oblong, indistinctly impressed transversely 

 below the basilar space, finely but distinctly punctate-striate. 

 Abdomen clothed with coarse adpressed whitish hairs. Thighs 

 moderately thickened, the hinder pair rather thicker than the 

 others, extending to the apex of the third abdominal segment. 



This insect, which has at first sight very much the aspect of 

 the pale variety of Crioceris impressa, must be placed close to 

 L. Goryi.

 interstitiis laevibus." (Lacordaire.)
