tinguished by the short obtuse posterior angles of the head, the 
oblique posterior angles of its prothorax, and the well-defined 
luteous margin of the elytra. 
For the figure of this species, and the following description 
and remarks, I am indebted to Prof. Westwood.* 
[This species somewhat closely resembles L. faber, Dej., from 
Guinea, especially in the toothing of the mandibles, but that 
species possesses a spine in the middle of the intermediate tibiz. 
It is most nearly allied to Cl. picipennis, Hope, Cat. Lucan., from 
Cape Palmas, but the head of that species has the lateral margins 
behind the eyes only slightly dilated, and the mandibles of the 
large variety of the male are differently toothed: it has also a 
triangular point in the middle of the clypeus. The upper surface 
of the head is opaque, and entirely covered with extremely minute 
granules (as is also that of the prothorax), the space behind the 
eyes being strongly punctate. The anterior lateral angles of the 
head are obliquely truncate, posteriorly produced, somewhat 
rounded and extending half across the eye: in front of the eye is 
a moderately raised obtuse tubercle. ‘The anterior margin of the 
head is bisinuated, the clypeus being transverse, short, with the 
anterior rounded. The lateral margin of the head, behind each 
of the eyes, is produced into a rounded lobe. The mandibles are 
rather longer than the head, somewhat slender, regularly curved, 
strongly punctured, with an obtuse spine directed inwards beyond 
the middle of the inner margin; the apex somewhat digitated, 
with a small subapical tooth, between which and the spine is a 
broad obtuse tooth, The mentum is of moderate width and very 
rudely punctured. The prothorax is rather broader and more 
glossy than the head, with the anterior angles rounded, the sides 
but slightly oblique and the hind lateral angles obliquely truncate; 
the sides are broadly dark fulvous, with a very slender raised 
black margin also extending along the bisinuated hind margin 
of the prothorax: near the hind angles is a dark lateral spot on 
each side; the scutellum is very finely punctured, as is also the 
base of the elytra. ‘The latter are very glossy, almost quite 
smooth, very dark chestnut down the middle, with a broad lateral 
border of fulvous, the extreme lateral margin being raised and 
black. The legs are pitchy black, with the femora castaneous, 
the fore tibize are serrulated along the outer edge and armed with 
three stronger teeth at the apex, the four posterior tibiz are des- 
titute of a spine in the middle of the outer margin, The body
