new Coleoptera f/vm Medellin. 423 



9 Head without any horn, cljpeus densely and strongly 

 punctured. Thorax gently convex, very thickly and strongly 

 punctured, the punctures only filled with tomentum, the sides 

 are less angular at the sides than in the male. The underside 

 and legs are almost destitute of tomentum, but the sternum is 

 pubescent. PI. IX, t U. 



This species difEers from L. Reichei in being of a shorter 

 broader form, and the cephalic horn has no tooth above at the 

 base, and the thoracic horn is broader and rises more directly 

 perpendicular to the anterior margin. The canthus of the eye 

 is much narrower and in the male especially is curved forward 

 like a small horn.
