180 NORTHERN ZOOLOGY. 



DESCRIPTION. 



This beautiful insect, is related to L. virens, but perfectly distinct. The body appears to be 

 black, but that colour is, in most parts, nearly concealed by a thick and mostly long coat of brilliant 

 golden hairs with a very slight tint of green, where the coat is thin the body appears minutely punc- 

 tured. Head subelongated, the neck exserted, subtriangular ; nose with only a few scattered whitish 

 hairs ; antennae black, third, fourth, and fifth joints rather slenderer and longer than the succeeding 

 ones : prothorax between globose and bell-shaped, constricted anteriorly, channelled, grossly punc- 

 tured : substance of the elytra pale testaceous, towards the apex externally they are dusky ; the 

 golden down on them is shorter and decumbent ; apex diverging and obliquely truncated : under- 

 side of the abdomen particularly brilliant from decumbent hairs : legs less hairy than the rest of 

 the body.
