Show 382 ON NEW COLEOPTERA FROM CHINA. [June 19, azureis, capite supra (cum labro mandibulis et palpis), antennis (articulo basali filavo excepto), abdomine apice, genubus, tibiis apice et tarsis nigris: capite sparsissime punctulato, fronte utrinque vage rugato : thorace latissimo lateribus late explanatis et rotundatis, loboque basali distincte producto, vix perspicue sparsissime punctulato : elytris quadrato-ovatis, apice sinuato-truncatis, angiitis exterioribus valde rotundatis, subtiliter punctulato- striatis, interstitiis fere plants subtilissime sparsim punctulatis. Long. 10-13 millim. 8 2 • Kiu-Kiang. Many examples. The lobes of the mentum are furnished with narrow epilobes; the species would therefore belong to Chaudoir's group Lampriades, but the very broad and strongly pectinated tarsal claws and all other characters are those of the typical Lebia?. The penultimate tarsal joint is bilobed or, at least, very deeply emarginated. LEBIA CHRYSOMYIA. Oblongo-ovata, rufo-testacea, elytris aurescenti-viridibus : capite thorace vagissime sparse punctulato-rugosis: thorace transverso, lateribus late explanato-reflexis rotundatis, postice paullo angustato, lobo basali breviter producto : elytris sat profunde punctulato-striatis, interstitiis convexis subtilissime sparsim punctulatis, apice sinuatim truncatis extus rotundatis. Tarsi articulo quarto longe bilobato, unguibus mediocriter lutis, denti-culis sat lonqis 5-6. Subtus sparsim pilifero-punctuluta. Long. 9 millim. Kiu-Kiang. Much resembles certain Mexican species of Loxopeza, a genus founded chiefly on the oblique position of the anterior tarsal joints of the male. The examples of L. chrysomyia appear to be females. LEBIA CALIGATA. Oblongo-ovata, nigra, antennis, partibus oris, tibiis, tarsis ventreque medio piceo-rufis, femoribus flavis apice nigris: capite et thorace sat crebre punctatis hoc disco Iceviore et vage ruguloso thorace mediocriter lato, lateribus minus explanatis, rotundatis, postice rectis, angulis posticis rectis, lobo basali angustiore longius producto : elytris profunde striatis, striis vix perspicue crenulato-punctulatis, interstitiis convexis sparse punctulatis. Tarsi articulo quarto breviter bilobato, unguibus dilatatis, denti-culis parum elongatis 5-6. Subtus pilifero-punctata. Long. 9 millim. Kiu-Kiang. Allied, and similar, to the Japanese L. fusca and L. duplex, but differing essentially from both in sculpture, colour of the legs, and form of the thorax. LEBIA XANTHOPHANA.
