of the anterior coxae ; joints of intermediate and hind tarsi less 

 elongated and more ampliate at apex than in Leucocelis. 



The species included in this genus differs from the Leucocelicles in 

 having a plain inner costa in the posterior part of the elytra, but the 

 sculpture of the intervals, and also the humeral impression, show 

 that it belongs to the group. 



LlPOTHYEEA EARKEEI, n. Sp. 



Bright shiny green with the head dark green, a broad lateral 

 orange band on the prothorax, and the epimera of the same colour ; 

 the pygidium, the ultimate abdominal segment, and the greater part 

 of the penultimate are brick-red, and the tibiae rufescent ; antennae 

 piceous. Head closely punctulate ; prothorax covered with deep, 

 round punctures separated by an interval about equal to twice their 

 diameter ; scutellum impunctate ; elytra shiny, the punctures of the 

 first duplicate series are shallow, those of the second and third 

 intervals are deeper, on the deflexed side they are moderately 

 shallow, and sub-seriate ; pygidium covered with round, cicatricose 

 punctures ; abdomen remotely but deeply punctate, sides of pectus 

 irregularly plicate punctate, median part smooth, no traces of trans- 

 verse suture on the sternal process. 



Length 13 mm. ; width 7 mm.

Mentum elongated, sub-parallel, slightly wider at the apex than at 

 the base, moderately deeply incised in the centre and with the outer 

 angles rounded, inner lobe of maxillae bluntly acuminate but not 

 dentate at apex, densely pubescent inwardly, upper lobe with a long 

 pencil of rufous hairs ; clypeus acuminate, deeply incised in the 

 centre with the outer angles sharp, not reflexed ; antennal club 

 shorter than the pedicel in both sexes ; prothorax ampliate rounded 

 laterally in such a way as to be sub-orbicular, but the non-sinuate 

 basal part is slightly acuminate in the centre above the scutellum 

 which is very sharply acuminate, and deeply grooved laterally ; 

 elytra moderately sinuate laterally, but with the humeral angles 

 strongly developed, and impressed on the upper side, bi-costate on 

 each side, but with the inner costa obliterated from the median part, 

 and the two intervals geminate striate from those to the apex, but 

 punctate in the basal part ; pygidium convex in the apical part more
