broader, and strigose and punctulate. The tliorax is 
much broader, strongly transverse and broadly rotundate- 
dilated from the anterior angles ; it is scarcely narroAved, 
and slightly sinuated, towards the basal angles, Avhich are 
a little prominent ; the surface is thickly and irregularly 
rugulose. The elytra are broad, distinctly dilated behind, 
and very deeply striated Avith convex interstices ; in colour 
they are very dark castaneous, nearly black, Avitli the ex- 
treme margins and an inverted comma-like spot, not 
touching the base, and spread over the 5th to 7 th inter- 
stices in its basal part, and over the 3rd to 7th at its ter- 
mination on the anterior disk of the elytron,

Very similar in size and form to L. Japonica. The head 
is smooth and impressed in the middle of the forehead. 
The thorax is very similar in outline and proportions ; 
moderately dilatate-rotundate from the anterior angles ; 
but it is more rectilinearly narrowed behind, and the hind 
angles do not project in the slightest degree ; the expla- 
nated lateral margins are rather narrow, and the disk is 
very minutely and faintly coriaceous. The coloration is 
very peculiar, especially the black femora and tibias, Avith 
tawny-reddish coloured tarsi.

Also closely allied to L. Japonica, but only half the size, 
and with a shorter and broader thorax. The elytra are 
dark brown, with a large pale discoidal spot. Only one 
of Mr. LeAvis's specimens agrees in colour Avitli MoraAvitz's 
description ; the rest have a broadish pale apical fascia, 
and the discoidal spot prolonged anteriorly toAvards the 
middle of the base.
