Ilab. Colombia, Bogota. 



A single male specimen was included in the collection 

 bequeathed to the Museum by the late Philip Crowley, and is 

 the only representative of the species at present known. It 

 is the finest of its genus, both hom tiie great development of 

 its doubly- branched cephalic horn and the conspicuous 

 marbling of its upper surface. The prosternum is raised into 

 a basin-shaped structure behind the coxte.

This species was found by j\J. de Mathan, from whom 

 M. Oberthiir received four specimens. By the hitter's kindness 

 it is now represented in our collection. It is a closely allied 

 form to the Colombian L. Burmeisteri, Waterlu, but the 

 cephalic horn is stouter and more strongly bifurcated, with its 

 edges raised at the base into two parallel ridges. The elytra are 

 less diversified in colour and their puncturation is more appa- 

 rent. The prosternal process also is more strongly developed. 

 In L. Bw meuteri it is only slightly prominent and forms a 

 conical tubercle thickly clotiied witii hairs. In L. vdutipes 

 it is produced considerably beyond the coxge and is trumpet- 

 shaped and naked. 



Lycomedes hirtipes, sp. n. 



llinor, rufo-fuscus, fulvo-griseo-velutinus; elytris variegatis, irrcgu- 

 lariter punctatis, callis apicalibus prominentibus; tibiis tarsisque 

 baud velutinis, longe fulvo-setosis ; cantho oculari acute pro- 

 ducto, 



* The length of these insects is measured from the front margin uf the 

 clvpeus to the extremity of the abdomen, the cephalic horn being 

 excluded.
