A very beautiful species, perhaps nearest (but not very near) to

A remarkably narrow and elongate species, not very near, I 
think, to any previously described.

L. leoparda, sp. nov. Minus elongata; sparsim nigro-hirta ; 
nigra, capite prothorace elytris abdomineque rufis, elytris

The black spots on the elytra are a large common diamond- 
shaped spot on the middle of the suture, and three on each elytron 
near the lateral margin (the first on the shoulder round, the next 
about the middle oval, the last elongate near the apex and touch- 
ing the lateral margin), successively larger hindward. The var. ? 
is in the collection of Mr. French ; though coloured so extremely 
differently from the type, it presents absolutely no other difference 
that I can discover.

The following species may for the present be attributed to this 
genus, although it will likely enough be regarded eventually as 
generically distinct. Mr Pascoe (Ann. Nat. Hist., 1870) charact- 
erised Jsotira very briefly by saying that it agrees with
