these we find also in L. imperialis and even in L. aper, in which the 
basal fasciae are but indistinctly marked. 
The male of the insect now before us has the face fulvous-red in 
the middle, with the lateral and hind parts, and the labrum, 
green; the prothorax is fulvous-red in front, and silveiy-green 
behind, the former part with three black, slender, transverse 
fasciae, the third being curved. The basal fascia of the elytra is 
green; the next one (interrupted near the sides) is also green, 
but varied with fulvous; the third is broad, lateral, and fulvous; 
the three central oval patches are distinct, the inner one green, 
and the two outside ones fulvous ; the suture beyond these is also 
marked with two silver-green patches, placed consecutively, the 
second communicating with a small subapical angulated fulvous- 
green spot, which is preceded by a large fulvous patch ; the spaces 
between the fulvous lateral patches are also tinged with green ; 
the femora and underside of the body are also green; the middle 
of the abdomen with a row of black spots. 
The female is much more strongly marked with fulvous-red 
colour, especially at the sides of the elytra, which are almost con- 
colorous, the green being here restricted to the base and middle 
portion of the suture; but all the markings are in their ordinary 
position.

This insect entirety agrees in its general characters with L, ornata 
and its allies, but is distinguished by its Eastern locality and peculiar 
coloration. The face is black with a dirty fulvous stripe down the 
middle, and an oblique one on each side, extending to the base 
of the mandibles, which are armed with a large obtuse tooth at 
the base in front. The lahrum is fulvous, as is also the crown of 
the head, the hind part of which is black. The thorax is of an 
ashy leaden colour, with the anterior margin, transverse curved 
fascia across the middle, and a subapical fascia, of a dirty fulvous 
colour. The elytra are of the same ashy leaden colour, rough at 
the base, where they are marked with a rather broad dirty fulvous 
fascia, followed by a narrower one (interrupted near the sides), and 
behind this are about nine patches of the same fulvous colour. The
