the fla<!;elliim opaque. Front and vertex alutaceous ; the 

 front thickly covered witli silvery puljesceiice ; the face and 

 clypeus are densely covered with silvery j)al)e3cence. Man- 

 dibles with the apical half red, the basal tiiiekly covered 

 with silvery pubescence ; the j)alpi dark testaceous. Tiie 

 apex of the pronotuni has a baiul of golden pubescence, as 

 have also the sides of the niesonotuin. I\Iesonotuni and 

 seutelluni closely and minutely punctured. The basal part 

 of the nictaiu»tuin alutaceous, the sides transversely striated ; 

 the apex is transversely striated, more distinctly above than 

 below; the middle is furrowed; the sides thickly covered 

 with pale golden pubescence. Pro- and mesopleura3 acicu- 

 lated, coveroti with silvery pile ; nietapleuraj closely, minutely, 

 obliqmly stiiafed, and covered with a seriee )us pile. Meso- 

 sternum smooth, thickly covered wilh a sericeous pile : the 

 metasternal |)rocess has an oblique slope at the base; it is 

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

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

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

 the tirst transverse cubital nervure has an oblique slope at 

 top and bottom, the angle in the middle being broadly 

 lounded ; the recurrent nervures are received distinctly 

 beiiind 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 

 minutely punctured on the sides.

Comes very near to L. t'l-idipenm's ; may be known from it 

 by the antennai being longer, by the abdomen being longer 

 compared with the thorax, by the first transverse cubital nervure 

 liaving a more rounded gradual curve, by the second recurrent 

 nervure being more sharply angloil, its lower abscissa being 

 quite straight and oblique, and the base of the metasternal 

 process has not an oblique sloj)e — not raised above the rest. 



Antenna rather longer than usual, longer than the head 

 and thorax united. Front and vertex alutaceous, the front 

 thickly covered with silvery pubescence ; tiie ocellus some- 

 what triangular in front, irregular, obliquely furrowed near 

 the middle; the face and elypens are tiiiekly covered with 

 silvery jiubesccnce ; the apex of the elyjieus smooth and 

 glabrous. The base of the mandibles thickly covered with
