slender, especially the anterior pair, which are quite simple; 

 the four posterior femora are armed on the under side near 

 the tip with a small spine, and the tibiae are armed with 

 minute spines beyond the middle ; the tarsi are long and 

 slender ; the basal joint in the fore legs more than half the 

 length of the whole tarsi, in the hind legs about one-half 

 the whole length. 



Another male specimen in my collection, also sent to me 

 from Assam by Major Jenkins, differs in the more slender 

 form of the meso- and metathorax, the head considerably 

 shorter behind the eyes, the longer anal styles, the shorter 

 deflexed lateral extremities of the terminal segment of the 

 abdomen, and the almost parallel sides of the body. 



Another male specimen collected by Dr. Horsfield in 

 Java, in the Collection of the East India Company, is still 

 more slender, with the head as long as in the type, with 

 two small tubercles at its hinder extremity ; it is of a 

 uniform red-brown colour, except that the tips of the fe- 

 mora and the base and extremity of the tibiae are black.

This species of which I have only a single male speci- 

 men, is closely allied to L. Praon, Westw., hut differs in 

 having a longer body, shorter legs, dentate femora, and a 

 shorter terminal segment to the abdomen. The body is 

 slender and subcylindrical, glossy, and moderately covered 

 with very fine granulations. The head is rather short, 

 with two short erect spines between the eyes; the hind 

 margin with a row of small elevations; the antennas ex- 

 tend to the extremity of the fore tibiae. The mesothorax 



is one-third longer than the metathorax; both are only 

 slightly dilated at the base of the legs ; the hinder division 

 of the metathorax is nearly two-fifths of its whole length. 

 The abdominal segments are slightly constricted both at 

 the base and apex, and in the middle of the hind margin of 

 each there is a minute Mevated angle ; the three terminal 

 segments are but slightly dilated ; they are strongly keeled 

 above, of nearly equal length, the last being cleft at its 

 extremity, the lateral posterior angles of which are produced 

 backwards and downwards into an angulated point; the 

 anal styles short, slender, obtuse at the tips, and deflexed ; 

 the terminal ventral segments much swollen, especially the 

 last, which only extends to the extremity of the eighth dorsal 

 segment. The legs are of moderate length and slender, 

 except the middle femora, which are shorter and thicker 

 than the rest ; all are furnished with two or three small 

 teeth near the tips on the under side.

This species, of which I have only seen a single male, 

 is closely allied to L. geniculates, Curtis, but is of a more 

 slender form ; it is of a uniform luteous-brown colour, 

 without any gloss ; the surface of the thorax and basal 

 segments of the abdomen is very finely granulose. The 

 head is wider than the prothorax, gradually narrowed be- 

 hind the eyes ; the crown is armed with two small spines 

 between the eyes ; the hinder margin has two small raised 

 tubercles ; the antenna? extend to the extremity of the fore 

 tibiae. The mesothorax is one-fifth longer than the meta- 

 thorax ; both are considerably dilated at the place of in- 

 sertion of the legs ; the hinder division of the metathorax 

 is about one-fifth of its whole length. The abdomen is 

 slender and cylindrical, with a fine raised line running 

 down its whole length ; the seventh segment is gradually 

 and the eighth considerably dilated ; the ninth is cleft nearly
