azureis, capite supra {cum labro mandihulis et palpis), antennis 



(articulo basalt jlavo excepto), abdomine apice, genubus, tibiis 



apice et tarsis nigris : capite sparsissime punctulato, fronte 



utrinque vage rvgato : thorace latissimo lateribus late explanuti^ 



et rotundatis, loboque basalt distincte prnducto, vix perspicue 



sparsissime punctulato : elytris quadrato-ovatis, apice sinuato- 



truncatis, angulis exterioribus vulde rotundatis, subtiliter punc- 



tulato-striutis, interstitiis fere planis subtilissime sparsim 



punctulatis. Long. 10-13 millim. c? ? • 



Kiu-Kiang. Many examples. The lobes of the mentum are 



fnniished with narrow epilobes ; the species would therefore belong 



to Chaudoir's group Lampriades, but the very bi'oad and strongly 



pectinated tarsal claws and all other characters are those of the 



typical Lehice. The penultimate tarsal joint is bilobed or, at least, 



very deeply emarginated. 



Lebia chrysomyia. 



Oblongo-ovata, m/o-testacea, elytris aurescenti-viridibus : capite et 



thorace vagissime sparse punctulato-rugosis : thorace transversa, 



lateribus late exptanalo-rejiexis rotundatis, postice puullo 



angustato, lobo basalt breviter jiroducto : elytris sat profunde 



punctulato-striatis, interstitiis convexis subtilissime sparsim 



punctulatis, apice sinuatim truncatis extus rotundatis. Tarsi 



articulo quarto longe bilobato, unguibus mediocriter lutis, denti- 



culis sat longis 5-(j. Subtns sparsim pili/ero-punctulata. 



Long. 9 millim. 



Kiu-Kiang. Much resembles certain Mexican species oi' Loxopeza, 



a genus founded chiefly on the oblique position of the anterior tarsal 



joints of the male. The examples of L. chrysomyia appear to be 



females. 



Lebia caligata. 



Oblongo-ovata, nigra, antennis, partibus oris, tibiis, tarsis ventreque 

 medio piceo-rufis, femoribus Jiavis apice nigris : capite et 

 thorace sat crebre punctutis hoc disco leevioTe et vage ruguloso : 

 thorace mediocriter lata, lateribus minus explanatis, rotundatis, 

 postice rectis, angulis posficis rectis, lobo basali angustiore et 

 longius producto ■ elytris profunde striatis, striis vix perspicue 

 crenulato-punctulatis, interstitiis convexis sparse punctulatis. 

 Tarsi articulo quarto breviter bilobato, unguibus dilatatis, denti- 

 culis parum elongatis 5-6. Subtus pilifero-punctata. Long. 9 

 millim. 

 Kiu- Kiang. AlUed, and similar, to the Japanese L. fusca and 



L. duplex, but differing essentially from both in sculpture, colour of 



the legs, and form of the thorax. 



Lebia xanthophana. 



Magna, fulvo-testacea, thorace disco infuscato, capite supra et infra 

 prosternoque medio nigris, antennis et partibus oris rufo-
