I. noteroides, sp. nov. Ovalis; nitidissimus; totus pallide 
brunneo-testaceus ; supra fere levis, elytrorum stria suturali 
leviter impressa antice abbreviata ; tarsorum posticorum 
gaye basali quam ceteri conjuncti longiori. Long., 11; 
lat., 2 1. 
This batts bears a certain resemblance in outline to a 
Dytiscid of the genus Noterus. It is smaller than L. coloratus 
and very different in color from both the preceding species. Its 
elytra show no trace of the transverse scratches that are charac- 
teristic of L. coloratus.

L. Koebelet, sp. nov. Sat late ovalis ; nitidus; testaceus ; capite 
prothoraceque fere levibus ; elytris sat distincte punctulato- 
striatis, striis basin versus obsoletis et vix perspicue punc- 
tulatis, interstitiis subalutaceis et puncturis sparsissimis 
impressis stria suturali postice sat fortiter impressa ; anten- 
narum clava sat brevi sat lata. Long., 1 1. (vix); lat., 21. 
The uniform testaceous color, rather broad form, compact 
antennal club and distinct elytral sculpture of this Species com- 
bine to render it easily recognisable.

L. tinctus, sp. nov. Ovalis; nitidus; testaceus, elytris basin 
versus indeterminate lineis macularibus fuscis notatis ; 
capite prothoraceque subtilissime crebre sat distincte punc- 
tulatis ; elytris ut prothorax punctulatis et puncturis paullo 
majoribus (his obsolete seriatim impressis et basin versus vix 
perspicuis) impressis, stria suturali postice minus fortiter 
impressa ; antennarum clava sat brevi sat lata. Long., 135 
—131.; lat., ~—3 1. 
This species seems to be near Micromerus amabilis, Guilleb., 
but is considerably larger and also differs inter alia by the line- 
like fuscous marks with which the basal part of the elytra is 
variegated. These marks seem to be always present though 
varying somewhat in intensity and never very sharply defined.

L. major, Blackb. Ovalis; nitidus; niger subiridescens, capite 
antice prothoracis marginibus omnibus elytrorum lateribus 
(anguste) corpore subtus antennis palpis pedibusque testaceo- 
rufis; capite prothoraceque crebre subtiliter punctulatis ; 
elytris seriatim subfortiter punctulatis, interstitiis dupliciter 
(sc. Sparsius subtiliter et sparsissime subfortiter) punctulatis, 
stria suturali minus fortiter impressa; antennarum clava 
modica; hujus articulo basali leviter 2° sat fortiter trans- 
versis, apicali quam preecedens parum longiori. Long., 1#1.;
