I have two specimens — both females — which agree in all 
particulars. Besides the markings, the present species differs 
from L. lanceolatus in being shorter and broader, the sterna more 
feebly wrinkled, and prosternal keel broader at base, mesosternal 
excavation less sharp.

Triphyllus multiguttatus, n.sp. 
Suboval, slightly convex, above feebly, undersurface moderately 
shining. Above dark brown; head in front obscure red, eyes 
black; prothorax with the margins, and an irregular spot on each 
side of the base, elytra with the margins and numerous spots, 
testaceous; these spots are elongate, somewhat irregular in 
number (from eleven to fourteen on each elytron), an oblique one 
on each side of the scutellum, behind it with its apex at the 
middle is an irregular spot, sometimes II- but oftenest T-shaped, 
the spots behind the middle sometimes uniting to form a very 
irregular transverse fascia, a large round spot near the apex 
(sometimes united with it); undersurface ferruginous-red, legs 
paler. Tibia? tipped on the outer apex with short black setae, the 
inner with a narrow spur. Above densely and obsoletely, under- 
surface very minutely punctate; elytra very feebly striate. 
Head triangular; eyes large, coarsely faceted; antenna? inserted 
immediately in front of the eyes, not reaching base of prothorax. 
Prothorax broadly transverse; apex widely and shallowly emar- 
ginate, base feebly bisinuate; posterior angles acute. Scutellum 
small, widely transverse, semicircular. Elytra about twice as 
long as head and prothorax combined, at their widest near the 
base, where they are slightly wider than prothorax; base truncate, 
shoulders feebly rounded. Femora and tibia? flattened. Length 
2f 2|, width lj-ll mm.
