L. Icevis. Disregarding the difference in the vestiture of the 
pronotum, it is, i?ite?' alia, a considerably larger insect. 
L. squamiger, Macl. I have examined the presumable 
type, which is in the Macleay Museum. 
L. necessarius, sp. nov. Ovatus ; minus nitidus ; totus cinereo- 
pilosus, elytrorum pilis nigricantibus exceptis ; niger, an- 
tennis (clava excepta) palpis et elytris (his ad basin an- 
guste plus minusve nigricantibus) rufis, pedibus plus 
minusve pioeis vel rufescentibus ; antennis 9-articu- 
latis ; clypeo nitido fortiter minus crebre pun?tulato : 
f route crebre nee subtiliter rugulosa ; prothorace fortiter 
transverse, antice sat fortiter angustato, supra canalicu- 
lato, fere ut frons sed paullo minus crebre punctulato, 
lateribus sat arcuatis ; elytris perspicue geminato-striatis, 
interspatiis sat fortiter vix crebre punctulatis ; propy- 
gidio sparsius, pygidio niagis crebre, rugulosis ; tibiis 
anticis extus tridentatis (dentibus intervallis subsequali- 
bus divisis) ; tarsorum posticorum articulo basali quam 
2"'' sat breviori. 
Maris clypeo antice sat profunde emarginato (fere ut L. villo- 
sicollis, MacL), angulis sat acutis nee vel vix extrorsum 
directis ; tarsis anticis sat incrassatis. 
Feminae clypeo truncato vix emarginato, angulis sat rotun- 
datis. Long., 3-4 1.; lat., 1|-2| 1. 
The characters indicated in the tabulation satisfactorily 
distinguish this species from its allies ; it is well, however, to 
remark that it is apparently identical with all the specimens 
pinned into the label "caijiflafus, Macl.," in the Sydney Mu- 
seums (so far as the bad condition of those specimens will 
allow comparison) except the one male in the Macleay Mu- 
seum, which is the presumable type, and which agrees well 
with Macleay's description. From that male it differs con- 
siderably in vestdture, and also in the form of the clypeus, 
which, in the present species, is strongly emarginate, and not- 
ably less narrowed forward. It should be added that the 
emargination of the clypeus, though quite strong, is very dif- 
ferent from the profound excision of the clypeus of L. Ken- 
nedy?, Macl. The notably darker colour of the pilosity of 
the elytra in comparison with that of the pronotum is an 
unusual character. 
Western Australia (Perth, Mr. Lea). 
L. disfa/Jis, sp. nov. Ovalis ; sat nitidus; supra sat glaber 
(lateribus piloso-fimbriatis) ; subtus cinereo-pilosus ; fer- 
rugineus, antennis pallidioribus (his 9-articulatis) ; 
clypeo leviter sat grosse subsquamoso-punctulato, antice 
3-vel 4-dentato: fronte sat aequali, subtiliter ere-
