310 Mr. Baly on new Crioceridse. 



than in L. Movhoti ; loAver edge of clypeiis and the labrnm 

 black. Thorax not broader than long, sub-cylindrical ; sides 

 strongly constricted in the middle, the fundus of the constriction 

 broad and forming at its upper end a distinct angle with the 

 disc ; upper surface deeply impressed at some distance behind 

 its middle with a broad transverse sulcation, siu-face minutely 

 punctured, the puncturing on a longitudinal space on the 

 middle disc, and on either side near the anterior angle, more 

 distinct than on the rest of the surface. Scutellum similar 

 in form and coloration to L. Mouhoti. Elytra much broader 

 than the thorax, broadly oblong, convex, somewhat depressed 

 along the suture, distinctly excavated below the basilar space, 

 regularly punctate-striate, the interspaces plane, impressed here 

 and there -with very minute punctures, moderately convex at 

 the apex ; the piinctures on the striaj on the anterior disc very 

 large and deeply impressed, those on the hinder disc much 

 smaller and shallower. 



I have named this species after my friend Mr. S. Stevens, 

 through Avhom I formerly received it.

 medio sat profunde constrictis, disco IjBvi, medio lincatim punc- 

 tato, ante basin transversim sulcato ; elytris oblongis, infi-a 

 basin transversim excavatis, fortiter punctato-striatis, interstitiis 

 planis, ad apicem vix convexiusculis ; metallico-ca?ruleis, utrisque

Hab. Guatemala. 



Head trigonate, shining, impunctate ; neck constricted ; 

 antenna? filiform, nearly tln-ee-fourths the length of the body, 

 black, the basal joint rufo-testaceous. Thorax slightly broader 

 than long, sides constricted in the middle, the apex of the 

 constriction obtuse ; above smooth and shining, impressed before 

 the base with a broad, deep, transverse sulcation, middle disc with 

 a broad vitta of minute punctures scarcely visible without a 

 lens. Scutellum wedge-shaped, obscure rufous, its apex piceous, 

 obtusely truncate. Elytra much broader than the thorax, 

 oblong, convex, slightly flattened along the suture, transversely 

 excavated beloAV the basilar space, regularly punctate-striato, 

 the ninth stria ivom. the suture entire ; the punctures on the 

 basilar sjjace and on the transverse depression large and deejily
