metallic green, except a conspicuous spot at the "base and a narrow- 

 edging; legs testaceous ; femora black, spotted with testaceous, 

 or w-ith the whole of the grooved under surface testaceous ; tibiae 

 with two black spots above ; termiual segment of abdomen and 

 forceps luteous, the latter blackish and crossed at the tips. For- 

 ceps wide apart in the male, with a small tooth on the inner edge 

 at the base, thence regularly denticulated to four-fifths of their 

 length where there is a muck larger triangular tooth. Forceps 

 in the female more strongly but irregularly denticulated, and 

 without the two larger teeth present in the male. The pygidium 

 is not distinctly visible in any of the three specimens before me. 



Sab. Ega. 



Probably allied to L. chalyhea, Dohrn. 



This species, which is one of the largest of the genus, clearly 

 mimics some metallic beetle belonging either to the JBuprestidce 

 or to the Staphylinidce.
