punctate, with scattered bristles; hind tibiz evenly widened at the 
apex and with two separate groups of sete on the outer side, 
terminal spur almost as long as the first, very long tarsal joint, tarsi 
of intermediate legs very slender; claws more deeply cleft at the 
apex; third and fourth joint of the antennz cylindrical, narrow, 
fifth and sixth short, the latter very minute; the three-jointed club 
is longer than the pedicel, narrow, the last foliated joint has a 
distinct longitudinal groove; mentum plainly deplanate in front, 
~ somewhat like in ZL. confinis. 
Length 8 mm. ; width 5 mm.

“Oval, opaque, brown above, somewhat spotted and opaline, the 
‘antenne 9-jointed; very like LZ. wkamina, Brsk., but the scale-like 
hairs are finer, the hind femora and tibiz less strong; clypeus short, 
broad, broadly rounded at the anterior angles, lightly emarginate in 
front, with a broad ocular keel; metallic, shiny, densely, finely 
aciculate, with indistinct setiferous punctures at the anterior margin, 
the frontal suture is less angularly curved ; frons and prothorax as 
in L. lucidula, Péring., the densely tomentose elytra are distinctly 
punctato-striate, the imterspaces somewhat narrower than in 
LL. wkanuna, the tessellated spots are faint, the punctures themselves 
only recognisable by the fine hairs, the larger setose-like hairs are 
very little distinct; the broader epipleural fold is somewhat narrower 
in the middle, less sharply punctate at the apex, the outer angles 
rounded ; the hind femora are a little narrower, very weakly curved 
at the hind margin; hind tibiz smooth. 
I cannot separate a female example from Lydenburg in the 
Transvaal belonging to the Berlin Museum, in spite of the fact 
that it has 10-jointed antenne. 
Length 9 mm.; width 5 mm. 
Hab. Transvaal, Zoutpansberg. 
I have already stated my belief that this species is identical with 
L. lucidula, Péring.

in the elongate form, but more reddish-brown on the under side,
