Somewhat closely allied to the i^receding. Disregarding 
the somewhat considerable differences in colouring, it differs, 
inter alia, by the sculpture of its head, the much more 
strongly rounded sides of its pronotum, and its considerably 
longer tarsi.

I believe that both sexes of this species are before me; 
if so the sexual characters are slight, consisting in a slight 
additional robustness in the front tarsi (and especially the 
front claws) of the male. It is possible, however that the speci- 
men I regard as the female may be a somewhat feebly de- 
veloped male. This species bears much superficial resemblance 
to L. ovatus, Mac!., but differs, inter alia, by its front tibiae 
having no external tooth above the apical projection and its 
pronotum having no dorsal channel except a faint impression 
close to the base (which is entirely wanting in very few
