Hinder thighs thickened ; basal joint of anterior tarsus 
usually dilated. 
The other characters are as in the ? ; both sexes may 
be known from the species of the genus Cadmus, by the 
sculpture and dense metallic pubescence of the thorax ; 
the sculpture of the elytra is also peculiar and constant 
in all the species known to me. 
Ihave not been able satisfactorily to identify Dr. Klug’s 
insect with any of the species described below ; it is, how- 
ever, very closely allied to L. Waterhovsei, and may pos- 
sibly prove to be the same insect.
