330 Mr. G. C. Champion on various African 
on the disc, densely, rugosely punctate at the sides, the basal 
depression deep. Elytra moderately elongate, much broader 
than the prothorax, and nearly twice its width at the apical 
third ; closely, uniformly, rather coarsely punctate. 
Length 33-34 mm. 
Hab. Cryton, Bogawantalawa, alt. 4900-5200 ft. (G. 
Lewis : 20 and 22. 11. 1882). 
Three females. Smaller, narrower, and more convex than 
the similarly-coloured L. lunatus (¢), the basal joints of 
the antenne testaceous; the head and prothorax not so 
broad, the latter densely rngulose at the sides ; the elytra 
closely, uniformly, rather coarsely punctate. The allied 
L. indianus, Pic (1918), type 2, is said to have the elytra 
black, with a broad yellow median fascia, and the tibice 
testaceous. 
10. Laius boysi, sp. n. 
2. Elongate, narrow, shining, pubescent ; black with a 
greenish lustre, the elytra violaceous, a common, broad, 
angulate fascia before the middle, and the antennal joints 1 
and 2, the tibiz and tarsi in part or entirely, and abdomen, 
testaceous; the head minutely punctate, the prothorax 
closely punctured at the sides and smooth on the disc, the 
elytra also closely, finely punctate. Head impressed in the 
middle between the eyes, about as broad as the prothorax ; 
antennal joints 1 and 2 long, moderately thickened, 1 much 
longer than 2, 3-10 rather long and slender. Prothorax 
broader than long, convex, subcordate, strongly constricted 
before the base, the transverse basal excavation deep. 
Elytra long, gradually widened from the base, rounded at 
the tip. 
Length 3 mm. 
Hab. E. Invia (Capt. Boys, in Mus. Oxon.). 
One specimen, received many years ago by the Hope 
Museum at Oxford, no nearer locality being given on the 
label than the one quoted. Narrower than Himalayan 
L. lunatus, the sides of the prothorax closely punctulate, 
the elytral puncturing uniform, close, and rather fine, the 
tibiz and tarsi in part or entirely testaceous, the antennz 
more slender. Captain Boys collected in the Himalaya, aud 
the insect may be from that region. L. indianus, Pic 
(1913), is similarly fasciate, but the elytra are described as 
black and somewhat strongly punctured, and nothing is 
said of the closely punctate sides of the prothorax.
