2. Leva callosa, sp. u. 



^ . Small and slender. Antennaj extending only a little 



beyond the hind margin of the pronotnm, rather thick. 



Head strongly reclinate ; frontal ridge in profile slightly 



convex, sulcate throughout; its margins touching each other 



at the fastigium, gradually divergent downwards, distinctly 



thickened between tii'.' antennae where the ridge ap{)ears, 



therefore, somewhat dilated, and disappearing just before 



the clypcus. Face slightly punctured. Temporal foveola; 



completely vertical, scarcely margined from below, distinctly 



concave, a little longer than the width at the hind margin, 



trapezoidal. Fastigium of tlie vertex strongly prominent, 



elungato-j)entagonal, with the apical angle acute, slightly 



rounded ; its surface strongly concave. Pronotum with the 



median keel iu profile straight, well developed, cut by the 



transverse sulcus not far behind the middle ; lateral keels 



well developed throughout, in prozona subparallel, very feebly 



concave, in metazona slightly divergent. Fore margin of 



the pronotum widely rounded ; hind margin very obtusely 



angulate, with the angle rounded. Lateral lobes higher 



than long; their fore lower angle obtuse; the hind angle 



straight, but very widely rounded ; a small oval callosity 



just below and behind the middle of the lobe; the fore 



nuirgiu incrassate and callous along the lower two-thirds of 



its length and emitting an obliquely ascending shojt callous 



ridge from the upper end of that incrassation. Elytra as 



long as the abdomen, but not reaching tiie hind knees, 



distinctly dilated in the middle, with the apex attenuate ; 



mediastinal area reaching about the middle of the fore 



margin, with a distinct postbasal dilatation and a short, 



irregular, false vein ; scapular area reaching to the apical
