Agrees with Motschulsky's description of L. pidlulus , as to 

 colour and sculpture and sufficiently well as to form; but it 

 cannot be that species as the author describes the elytra as 

 " striis dorso interruptis, postico profundius impressis, interstitiis 

 vix distincte punctulatis. " 



The genus Lymnastis was very insufficiently characterized by 

 Motschulsky, in Etudes Ent. 1862, p. 27. A peculiarity, which 

 chiefly refers to the American species, was added by Chaudoir 

 in Rev. and Mag. de Zool. 1868, p. 21. The best description of 

 the genus is that of Piochard de la Brulerie, in Ann. d. la Soc. 

 Ent. Fr., 1875, p. 436.
