12 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
band, the surface strongly punctured anteriorly and finely so below the middle, the interstices minutely 
punctured; abdomen fulvous, spotted with black. 
Length 22 lines. 
Head black, impunctate; eyes deeply notched; antenne black, less than half the length of the body, the 
terminal joints short and slightly flattened and scarcely longer than broad ; thorax not longer than broad, 
deeply constricted at the sides, the middle of the disc with two rows of small punctures ; scutellum black ; 
elytra with a slight depression below the base, the latter distinctly punctured, the lower portion finely 
punctate-striate, the ninth stria entire, the surface of a dark metallic blue colour, with a narrow fulvous 
transverse median band which is interrupted at the suture (in one specimen also at the sides); breast and 
legs black; abdomen fulvous, the sides (sometimes the middle) of the segments marked with black. 
The Mazatlan examples differ from the type in the abdomen being fulvous and 
spotted with black (instead of wholly black), but apparently in no other way. 
7 (a). Lema fulvo-fasciata. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 19.) 
Reddish-fulvous, the antenne, tibie, and tarsi black; elytra distinctly punctate-striate, purplish-black, with a 
broad transverse fulvous band across the middle. 
Var. Elytra with the posterior purplish portion in the shape of an ovate spot, the extreme apex black; the 
knees black. ; 
Length 22-3 lines. 
Head impunctate, the space round the eyes strongly raised, but not punctured (in one specimen black); 
antennee rather short and robust, not extending much beyond the base of the elytra, black, the basal joint 
sometimes fulvous; thorax not longer than broad, moderately constricted at the sides, the basal sulcation 
not very strongly marked, the surface (with the exception of a few minute punctures on the middle of the 
disc) impunctate; scutellum fulvous or black; elytra with a shallow depression below the base, very 
regularly and rather closely punctate-striate, the punctuation as usual more strongly impressed anteriorly 
than posteriorly, the interstices slightly convex towards the apex, the broad fulvous band dividing the 
purplish-black portion convex at its middle and with its margins rather uneven; underside and the 
femora fulvous (in one specimen the latter are black at the base and apex); tibie and tarsi black. 
Hab. Mexico, Acapulco in Guerrero (Hége), N. Yucatan (Gawmer). 
Two examples of the type, and one of the variety. 
L. fulvo-fasciata differs from any other species of our region (L. cingulata excepted) 
in the elytra having a broad fulvous median band, the rest of the surface being 
purplish-black; in one specimen there is an additional small fulvous spot placed at 
the margin near the extreme apex of each elytron. The last-named example has the 
head and femora entirely fulvous; the other has several black markings on the head 
and legs, as pointed out in the description. The colour of the head and underside 
and other details separate L. fulvo-fasciata from L. cingulata. The variety is from 
Yucatan.
