The male is smaller, narrower, and more parallel. This species 

 differs from the last, inter alia, in the form of tlie protliorax 

 and in its strongly tuberculate elytra ; in this respect it is like 

 L. trihulus, Fab., only tliat the latter has the elytral costaj tu- 

 berculate throughout, and the excavation on the prothorax is re- 

 duced to a narrow groove, or shallow impression. In both spe- 

 cies the aerobes are expanded and extend to the eyes.

The shape of this species approaches that of L. 4<-tuhercu- 

 latus, Schon. ; but the vestiture, colour, shape of the rostrum, &c. 

 are different. 



Leptops superciliauis. L. oblongo-ovatus, fuscus, parce umbrino- 

 squamulosus ; eapite silaceo, supra oculum linea grisea ad apicem 

 rostri currente, hoc supra bisulcato, in medio subcarinato, scrobe 

 angustata, determinata, infra oculum desinente ; prothorace subtrans- 

 verso, antice utrinque rotundato, postice subparallelo, dorso rude 

 impresso-punctato ; scutello punctiformi, fere occulto ; elytris basi 

 prothorace latioribus, postice sensim am[)liatis, dorso subdepressis, 

 subseriatim punctatis, interstitio tertio elevato, postice declivis et 

 in singulo elytro tuberculis quinque, quorum duobus validioribus 

 transversim positis ; corpore infra pedibusque fusco-squamulosis, griseo 

 variegatis. Long. 4 lin.
