white ; scutellum impunctate ; elytra with the two dorsal costse 

 highly tectiform and with a third outer costa plainly distinct, in 

 each interval there is a row of deep, elongated white macules and a 

 supra-marginal one making four on each side, and on the margin are 

 two superposed non-striated rows of elongated punctures ; the red 

 pygidium is sculptured in the usual manner and bears on each side 

 three small white macules ; the sculpture and vestiture of the 

 under side is as usual. 



This species is easily recognised from its congeners by the very 

 deep, white impressions on both the prothorax and elytra, and the 

 three high costae on each elytron. 



Length 7-8 mm. ; width 3f-4 mm.

 Plate XLVIL, fig. 22. 



Black, with a reddish broad outer marginal band of red reaching 

 from the apex to the median part only, pygidium reddish, edged 

 with black and with a median longitudinal black narrow line. Very 

 closely allied to the preceding species and with the white markings 

 on the prothorax and elytra similarly disposed, but the prothorax is 

 much more closely punctate, and is not aeneous, the lateral red band 

 does not reach beyond the median part, the black elytra have no 

 greenish tinge, and are much more attenuate behind ; the discoidal 

 costa is much more raised and there is a deep impression alongside 

 the humeral callus. The sternal process projects slightly more than 

 in L. adspersa. The shape of the male genitalia differs in the two 

 species. 



Length 9-9 \ mm. ; width 5-5| mm.

Black, with the pygidium rufescent, under side bronze-black. This 

 species somewhat resembles L. natalica, but the elytra are more 

 parallel. The prothorax is more deeply punctate, the three discoidal 

 white impressions are broader and deeper, and the outer margin has 

 an entire moderately broad white band consisting plainly of three 

 elongated coalescing patches ; the elytra, the sculpture of which 

 closely resembles that of L. natalica, has on each side four regular 

 rows of white patches instead of three ; the pygidium is totally
