Somewhat globose-ovate, pale rufo-ferruginous, shining ; 
head and thorax finely but thickly punctured, and very 
glossy ; eyes black ; elytra rather deeply punctato- striate, 
with all the interstices faintly punctured ; legs pale testa- 
ceous; hinder tibiae slightly curved; antennse pale rufo- 
testaceous, with the club dusky. 
Allied to L. ferruginea ; from which it chiefly differs in 
having all the interstices between the striae on the elytra, 
finely and somewhat remotely punctured ; the body more 
globose, and the legs of a paler hue. 
This new species was taken, last October, on the top of 
a wall near Cramond Bridge.
