L. atriceps, Macl. This is the species that I had formerly 
supposed to be monficola, Macl. (and have probably so named, 
for correspondents), on account of its having antennae with 
only eight joints, whereas Macleay places africeps in his sec- 
tion of the genus with nine-jointed antennae. The presum- 
able type is in the Macleay Museum bearing a label, "afri- 
ceps, Macl." I have mentioned others of its characters 
(above), under L. f alia a:, Blackb. 
L. micans, Macl. Placed by Macleay in his monograph 
among the species with nine-jointed antennae. I examined 
the presumable type, unique in the Macleay Museum, and 
made the following note on it : — "New to me. Antennae 
eight- jointed. Near fallax, mihi, from which it differs, inter 
alia, by its quite different colouring, i.e., dorsal and under 
surface entirely black except disc of elytra." 
SEVENTEENTH GROUP (aa, B, CC, OF TABULATION). 
This group contains only one known species — L. criniger, 
Macl. — easily recognised by its presenting the following char- 
acters in combination : — Antennae eight- jointed, front tibiae 
with three external teeth, basal joint of hind tarsi notably 
longer than second joint. 
L. jjerplexus, Blackb. This name is a synonym of L. 
cr'iniger, Macl., to which its author incorrectly attributes 
nine- jointed antennae : and, owing to that error, I failed to 
discover the identity of the two until I recently found out 
that Macleay's characters are not reliable. I have examined 
the presumable type, in the Macleay Museum. 
EIGHTEENTH GROUP (aA, BB, OF TABULATION). 
A small aggregate of species presenting the unusual com- 
bination of eight-jointed antennae, with front tibiae having 
less than three external teeth. 
L. Icevatus, Macl. Originally described by its author as 
glaher (nom. pra-ocv.), ana placed in Maclea3''s monograjDh 
among the species with nine- jointed antennae. I have ex- 
amined the jDresumable type, in the Australian Museum, and 
find that its antennae have only eight joints. 
h. parviiliis, Macl. i nave examined the presumable 
type, in the Australian Museum, and find (as Macleay says) 
that the difference is only in colour, which is, no doubt, either 
varietal or sexual. I unfortunately omitted to investigate 
the sex of the types. Both are from Gayndah. 
NINETEENTH GROUP (AAA, OF TABULATION). 
Easily distinguishable from all the other groups by the 
antennae of its species having only seven joints.
