et rotundatis, loboque basali distincte producto, vix perspicue 



sparsissime punctulato : elytris quadrato-ovatis, apice sinuato-

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



furnished with narrow epilobes ; the species would therefore belong 



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



pectinated tarsal claws and all other characters are those of the 



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



very deeply emarginated. 



Lebia chrysomyia. 



Oblongo-ovata, rvfo-testacea, elytris aurescenti-viridibus : capite et 



thorace vagissime sparse punctulato-rugosis : thorace transversa, 



lateribus late explanato-rejiexis rotundatis, postice paullo 



angustato, lobo basali breviter producto : elytris sat profunde 



punctulato-striatis, interslitiis convexis subtilissime sparsim 



punctulatis, apice sinuatim truncatis extus rotundatis. Tarsi 



ai'ticulo quarto longe bilobato, unguibus mediocriter lutis, denti- 



culis sat longis 5-6. Subtus sparsim piiifero-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. 



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

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

 thorace sat crebre punctatis hoc disco Iceviofre et vage ruguloso : 

 thorace mediocriter lata, lateribus minus explanalis, rotundatis, 

 postice rectis, angulis posticis rectis, lobo basali angustiore et 

 longius producto : elytris profunde slriatis, 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. Allied, 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-
