  Allied 
  to 
  L. 
  quadricolor 
  (Chaud.), 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  

   conspicuously 
  distinct 
  in 
  the 
  explanated 
  lateral 
  margins 
  

   of 
  the 
  thorax. 
  This 
  and 
  its 
  coloration 
  gives 
  it 
  a 
  great 
  

   resemblance 
  to 
  the 
  smaller 
  Loxopezce, 
  especially 
  L. 
  atri- 
  

   ceps 
  (Lee.) 
  ; 
  the 
  transversely 
  truncated 
  apices 
  of 
  the 
  

   dilated 
  anterior 
  tarsi 
  in 
  the 
  males 
  show, 
  however, 
  that 
  it 
  

   does 
  not 
  belong 
  to 
  that 
  genus, 
  but 
  to 
  Lebia.

  One 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  N. 
  American 
  species, 
  agreeing 
  

   with 
  numerous 
  specimens 
  from 
  Utah 
  and 
  Montana, 
  with 
  

   which 
  I 
  have 
  compared 
  it, 
  was 
  obtained 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Smith.
