X. die7nenensis, sp. no v. Mas. Depressus ; sat latus ; nitidus ; 

 vix pubescens ; testaceo-brunneus ; capite magno, quaiii

The remarkable antennae of this species at once distinguish it 

 from all its Australian congeners and from all other Lamoplilai 

 known to me. It seems to be allied to L. Fauveli, Gr., which it 

 somewhat resembles in outline, but the antennae of the male are 

 very different, it is differently colored, its eyes are much smaller 

 than those of Fauveli appear in the figure, kc.
