 This species was labelled L. Reichei in the 8alle collection. 

 It is closely allied to that form as well as to L. Burmeisteri 

 and L. veluti'iyes. The first, in addition to the acute tooth at 

 tiie base of the cephalic liorn, has a pinkish tint, which distin- 

 guishes it from all others. The pygidium is also very pro- 

 tuberant and the apical callosities of the elytra are acute. 

 The latter, though less prominent in L. hirtipes, are more so 

 than in either of the two other species mentioned above, from 

 both of which the present species is also distinguished by the 

 clothing of its legs, which is not velvety, but thickly hairy. 

 The cephalic horn has its edges elevated at the base, but 

 much less so than in L. velutipes. Both sexes may be 

 distinguished also by tlie elytra, which are variegated and 

 irregularly punctured. The prosternal process is prominent 

 and formed as in the preceding species, but is less expanded 

 and hollowed at its extremity, the edges of which are thickly 

 pilose. 



I have seen about a dozen specimens of this spacies.

The numerous examples of this collected by Mr. Champion 

 were confused by Bates with L. Mmszech\ Thoms., of which 

 the Godman-Salvin collection contained a single male specimen 

 from Nicaragua. This specimen agrees exactly with Thom- 

 son's type, and both differ from tlie Panama form by their 

 broader thorax, the acutely produced ocular canthus, and the 

 entire absence of any inner tootli on the cephalic horn. This 

 tooth is formed in L. Batesi at the lower extremity of a slight 

 channel upon the inner face of the horn. The channel is
