180 Mr. G. C. Champion on the 



middle, narrowed behind. Elytra long, oval, broadly pro- 

 duced at the tip, the apices each with a small dentiform 

 projection above the obtuse apical angle ; somewhat flattened 

 on the disc, and uneven towards the sides and tip, with rows 

 of rather large shallow punctures, the interstices 3 and 5 

 towards the apex, and 7 for the greater part of its length, 

 convex or subcostate. Ventral segments 1 and 2 deeply 

 excavate in the middle. 



Length (excl. head) 9, breadth 4 mm. 



Hub. Falklands {W. E. Wright). 



One specimen, received by the Museum in 1842. Very 

 like L. nordenskioldi, Enderl., and with similarly griseo- 

 maculate elytra (except that the small spots on the disc are 

 loss numerous and more elongate), differing from that insect in 

 its more depressed form, the very sparsely punctate shining 

 under surface, the less densely punctate, smoother prothorax. 

 and the wholly ferruginous antennas and tarsi. The rudi- 

 mentary wings are barely 2 mm. in length.

 Brit.; Mus. Oxon.), Port Stanley {Enderlein, Col. A. M. 

 Heid, M. Cameron). 



Described from two examples captured on Feb. 22nd, 

 1902. There are a dozen specimens of it in the British 

 Museum and two abraded individuals in the Oxford Museum. 

 L. bracteatus has the general facies of a large elongate 

 Hypera. It is thickly clothed above with small yellowish- 

 brown scales, with scattered, short, bristly hairs intermixed, 

 these latter being decumbent on the prothorax, and semi-erect 

 and seriately arranged on the elytra. The prothorax has a 

 conspicuous line of opalescent or metallic scales down the 

 centre and an angulate pallid line towards the outer margin. 

 In two of the specimens before me the small pallid oblique 

 streak on the third elytral interstice beyond the middle is 

 extended outwards, forming with the one on the opposite 

 wing-case a common V-shaped mark, much as in L.falk- 

 landicus, Enderl., to judge by the figure given by the author. 

 The male has the first ventral segment moderately excavate 

 in the middle.
