27. Lema snffiiani. (Tab. I. fig. 14.) 



Lema suffriani, Jacoby, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 982. 

 Hab. Costa Kica, Volcan de Irazu (Bogers). 



Light testaceous ; head and breast black ; elytra testaceous, a short sutural and submarginal stripe at the base, 



and two small spots, one before the other, behind the middle of each elytron, violaceous black. 

 Length 2|~3± lines. 



The light-coloured antennae and the extra spot on the posterior half of the elytra 

 principally distinguish this species from the preceding one. 



28. Lema basalis.

31. Lema championi. (Tab. I. fig. 5.) 



Lema championi, Jacoby, P. Z. S. 1879, p. 773. 



* 



Fulvous ; head and breast black ; basal and three terminal joints of the antennas fulvous, the rest black ; 

 elytra punctate-striate, dark violaceous, a curved median transverse band and the apex fulvous. 



Length 3f lines. 



Head impunctate, constricted behind the eyes, the lateral grooves deeply impressed ; antennae nearly half the 

 length of the body, joints two and three and the three terminal ones fulvous ; thorax a little longer than 

 broad, its sides moderately constricted near the base, surface impunctate and not transversely grooved ; 

 elytra with a short, rather obsolete impression below the base, deeply punctate at their anterior half, the 

 punctures greatly diminishing in depth towards the apex, the interstices also finely punctured and slightly 

 costate posteriorly, violaceous blue, with a narrow transverse band across the middle of the disk and the 

 apex more broadly fulvous ; abdomen and the legs lighter fulvous. 



Hab. Guatemala, Zapote {Champion). 



This species is another form belonging to the several almost similarly marked ones 

 of group 19 of Lacordaire. It cannot, however, be easily confounded with the rest 

 on account of the colour of the antennae, the want of the fulvous elytral margin, and 

 the basal depression, as well as the punctured interstices of the elytra.
