mentmn 4 seta3 arising from small tubercles, process at base 

 of siibnientum sex-setose. 



Protliorax convex, just wider than head, widest a little 

 before middle, equally contracted at extremities, base trun- 

 cate, apex slightly emarginate ; sides moderately exphmate, 

 strongly rounded in front, sinuate some little way before 

 ba.-ie, with which they form approximately a right angle, 

 front angles quite rounded adjoining neck, a small flat tu- 

 bercle on each side on the explanate margin, midway between 

 base and apex, but no seta is visible either there (though 

 there is an evident pore and the seta is probably abraded) 

 or at hind angles ; median line evident, but not deep, trans- 

 verse impressions and basal foveas dee[), margins lightly and 

 sparsely, base and apical area strongly punctate, the puuctura- 

 tion extending for some distance from both ends along the 

 median line, disk very minutely and sparsely punctate. 



Elytra (5*0 mm. long) ovate, convex, almost parallel, border 

 very slightly sinuate both behind shoulders, which though 

 rounded are well marked, and before apex ; strongly punctate- 

 striate, both striae and punctures only a little less deeply 

 impressed towards apex, intervals moderately convex, 3 with 

 five punctures, marginal series on 9 consisting of some half- 

 dozen punctures only. Sterna (except middle of meta- 

 sternum), episterna, and sides of ventral surface at base 

 coarsely and more or less confluently punctate ; anal segment 

 with two setiferous pores on each side. 



The species differs from L. indus, Tchitch., the only other 

 species described from India, in its pitch-black colour, with- 

 out blue or green reflectious ; form more elongate, head, 

 labriim, and mandibles all longer; protliorax narrower, con- 

 tracted more abruptly behind, and sinuate at a greater distance 

 from hind angles, surface more strongly punctate ; stria? of 

 elytra more coarsely punctate, the outer ones not obliterated 

 towards apex, interval 3 with five punctures instead of three. 

 The species appears to be allied to L. cfracili-ntus, Tchitch.
