also a dorsal longitudinal ridge, terminating between the eyes in a little 

 narrow excavation r prothorax narrowest anteriorly, covered with minute 

 elevations producing wrinkles, and having also a dorsal longitudinal ridge 

 and two oblique, rather curved stripes formed of dense white hairs : the 

 elytra have several rows of punctiires, with the interstices minutely granu- 

 lated ; each elytrum has a discoidal vvliite dot a little below the middle, 

 and, in several specimens, tliere is also an indistinct one between it and 

 the apex : on eaeh side of the abdomen underneatli. as in Z, arcticus, are 

 four yellowish round spots formed of hairs. In some specimens the 

 pubescence has a tawny hue, in others the indistinct spot is obliterated,

Body very black, covered more or less with decumbent v/hite hairs, 

 and also with minute tubercles. Rostrum as in L. Colon: prothorax 

 ridged, confluently tuberculated, minutely punctured between the tuber- 

 cles, marked on each side with an oblicjue stripe composed of white hairs: 

 elytra confluently tuberculated, with five pairs of longitudinal streaks, 

 converging towards the apex : the first and fifth including the rest.

 Several specimens taken in the Expedition. 



Body narrow, black, covered with decumbent hoary pile. Head 

 thickly covered with hairs, but on each side from the eye to the insertion 

 of the antennae, the hairs are less dense, which gives the appearance of 

 a blackish stripe ; rostrum thick, shorter than the prothorax, obsoletely 

 ridged, punctured : protliorax obsoletely ridged, punctured with rather 

 large scattered punctures, often concealed by the hairs, with three blackish 

 stripes, produced as in the head by the hairs being thinner : the elytra 

 also have three similar stripes, and are punctured in rows : the abdomen 

 underneath appears as if dotted with black from the same cause.

Body Oijlong, winged. Rostrum shorter than the prothorax, sulicylin- 

 drical, somewhat arched, having a dor.sal longitudinal ridge ; bed of the 

 scape of the antennae oblique reaching from near the apex of the nostrum 

 to the middle of the eye ; antennae apical, longer than the head, eleven- 

 jointed ; scape as long as the remainder of the antennaj, incrassated at 

 the apex, reaching the eye ; two next joints longer than the subsequent 

 ones, obconical j the following four very short, top-shaped ; the four last 

 forming a subovate knob ; eyes lateral, subimmersed, long, forming, in
