  Mr. 
  H. 
  E. 
  Aiidrewes 
  on 
  the 
  

  

  more 
  than 
  right 
  ; 
  transverse 
  impressions 
  vague, 
  median 
  line 
  reaching 
  

   apex 
  but 
  not 
  base, 
  \fe\i 
  marked 
  only 
  in 
  middle, 
  basal 
  foveae 
  shallow; 
  

   surface 
  moderately 
  shiny, 
  closely 
  and 
  finely 
  pmictate, 
  more 
  closely 
  

   and 
  confluently 
  at 
  base 
  and 
  sides. 
  

  

  Elytra 
  short, 
  moderately 
  shiny, 
  narrowly 
  bordered, 
  shoulders 
  

   not 
  much 
  rounded, 
  margin 
  sinuate 
  near 
  apex; 
  striae 
  rather 
  fine, 
  

   impunctate, 
  a 
  scutellary 
  striole 
  between 
  1 
  and 
  2, 
  intervals 
  flat, 
  

   closely 
  and 
  finely 
  punctate, 
  rather 
  more 
  coarsely 
  near 
  margins, 
  a 
  

   large 
  pore 
  on 
  3, 
  adjoining 
  stria 
  2, 
  at 
  a 
  third 
  from 
  apex, 
  pimctures 
  

   of 
  marginal 
  series 
  wider 
  apart 
  in 
  middle 
  ; 
  testaceous 
  border 
  covering 
  

   intervals 
  8 
  and 
  9 
  up 
  to 
  two-thirds 
  from 
  base, 
  then 
  widening 
  out 
  

   over 
  the 
  apical 
  area, 
  the 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  aeneous 
  discal 
  area 
  being 
  

   irregular, 
  with 
  projections 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  on 
  intervals 
  6 
  and 
  4. 
  

  

  Underside 
  smooth, 
  but 
  with 
  some 
  fine 
  puncturation 
  along 
  the 
  

   median 
  line 
  of 
  the 
  body, 
  especially 
  on 
  the 
  prosternal 
  process, 
  meta- 
  

   stemum, 
  and 
  basal 
  segment 
  of 
  abdomen, 
  meteisisterna 
  elongate, 
  

   prosternal 
  process 
  not 
  bordered, 
  a 
  few 
  small 
  hairs 
  at 
  apex, 
  two 
  

   widely 
  distant 
  setae 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  margin 
  of 
  last 
  ventral 
  segment 
  ; 
  

   testaceous 
  margin 
  not 
  uniform, 
  but 
  formed 
  by 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  smaU 
  

   triangular 
  patches, 
  each 
  segment 
  with 
  a 
  small 
  rounded 
  depression 
  

   on 
  each 
  side. 
  Hind 
  femora 
  compressed 
  and 
  strongly 
  curved 
  ( 
  ? 
  if 
  

   natural); 
  tarsi 
  smooth 
  on 
  upper 
  surface, 
  in 
  the 
  hind 
  tarsi 
  1 
  = 
  2 
  + 
  

   3 
  + 
  4 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  type 
  one 
  front 
  leg 
  is 
  wanting, 
  but 
  the 
  first 
  four 
  joints 
  

   of 
  the 
  other 
  one 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  slightly 
  dilated, 
  and 
  squamose 
  beneath. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  is 
  smaller 
  and 
  less 
  elongate 
  than 
  L. 
  lucens 
  

   Bates, 
  with 
  wide 
  testaceous 
  margins 
  to 
  both 
  thorax 
  and 
  

   apex 
  of 
  elytra, 
  the 
  shallow 
  basal 
  furrows 
  present 
  in 
  L. 
  

   lucens 
  are 
  wanting. 
  Otherwise 
  the 
  species 
  are 
  remarkably 
  

   ahke. 
  

  

  Bates 
  says 
  nothing 
  in 
  his 
  diagnosis 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  about 
  

   the 
  ligula 
  and 
  paraglossae 
  ; 
  the 
  former 
  is 
  narrow 
  and 
  bise- 
  

   tose 
  at 
  apex, 
  the 
  paraglossae 
  are 
  glabrous 
  and 
  mem- 
  

   branous, 
  wider 
  and 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  ligula, 
  rounded 
  at 
  

   the 
  sides, 
  with 
  an 
  angle 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  not 
  meeting 
  in 
  front. 
  

   The 
  penultimate 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  labial 
  palpi 
  is 
  plurisetose. 
  Of 
  

   the 
  front 
  tarsi 
  in 
  the 
  (^ 
  Bates 
  says, 
  " 
  quatuor 
  subtus 
  pilis 
  

   griseis 
  erectis 
  dense 
  vestitis," 
  which 
  is 
  entirely 
  erroneous. 
  

   The 
  tarsi 
  are, 
  in 
  fact, 
  biseriately 
  squamose, 
  as 
  in 
  Harpalus 
  ; 
  

   I 
  cannot, 
  however, 
  detect 
  any 
  squamae 
  on 
  joint 
  1.

  put
