the flagellum opaque. Front and vertex alutaceous ; the 

 front tliickly covered with silvery pubescence ; the face and 

 clypeus are densely covered with silvery pubescence. Man- 

 dibles with the apical half red, the basal thickly covered 

 with silvery pubescence; the palpi dark testaceous. The 

 apex of the pronotum has a band of golden pubescence, as 

 have also the sides of the mesonotum. Mesonotum and 

 scutellum closely and minutely punctured. The basal part 

 of the metanotuni alutaceous, the sides transversely striated.; 

 the apex is transversely striated, more distinctly above tlian 

 below; the middle is furrowed; the sides thickly covered 

 with pale golden pubescence. Pro- and me.sopleuras acicu- 

 lated, covered witli silvery pile; nictapleurai closely, minutely, 

 obliquely striated, and covered with a sericeous pile. Meso- 

 sternum smooth, thickly covered with a sericeous pile : the 

 metasternal process has an oblique slope at the base; it is 

 depressed deeply at the apex of the slope. Wings flavo- 

 liyaline, the nervures dark fuscous ; the top of the first 

 cubital cellule is fully one half the length of the second ; 

 the first transverse cubital nervure has an oblique slope at 

 top and bottom, the angle in the middle being broadly 

 rounded ; the recurrent nervures are received distinctly 

 behind the middle and are separated by one half the length 

 of the top of the second cubital cellule. Legs thickly pruinose; 

 the spines black. Abdomen not much longer than the 

 thorax; pruinose; the pygidium shining, obscurely and

Comes very near to L. tridipenm's ; may be known from it 

 by the antennae being longer, by the abdomen being longer 

 compared with the thorax, by the first transverse cubital nervure 

 having a more rounded gradual curve, by the second recurrent 

 nervure being more sharply angled, its lower abscissa being 

 quite straight and oblique, and the base of the metasternal 

 process has not an oblique slope — not raised above the rest. 



Antennee rather longer than usual, longer than the head 

 and thorax united. Front and vertex alutaceous, the front 

 thickly covered with silvery pubescence ; the ocellus some- 

 what triangular in front, irregular, obliquely furrowed near 

 the middle ; the face and clypeus are thickly covered with 

 silvery pubescence; the apex of the cly])eus smooth and 

 glabrous. The base of the mandibles thickly covered with
