Maris antennarum flabello quam feminae vix longiori; coxis 

 posticis pilosis ; tibiarum posticarum calcaribus nitidis 

 sat angustis ; pygidio quam feminae paullo minus crebre 

 punctulato, postice inermi ; segmento ventrali apicali 

 sat sequali ; forma magis angusta magis parallela. Long., 

 12 1. ; lat., 5f 1. 



When I described this species I erroneously believed the 

 type to be a male and L. deceptrix to be its female. There 

 is now no doubt of their being females of two species. I 

 have therefore redescribed them both. A comparison of the 

 descriptions will indicate numerous slight differences, but the 

 most conspicuous differences are : the hind angles of pro- 

 thorax divergent in deceptrix, together with, in that species, 

 dorsal surface non-iridescent and of lighter colour, hind coxae 

 distinctly pilose in female, and elytra and pygidium distinctly 

 more finely punctulate. The male described above was given 

 to me some time ago by Mr. Lea (his No. 5535), and is cer- 

 tainly the male of this species (Brenske's notes on the spurs 

 of the hind tibiae being assumed correct).
