several in which the lateral black elytral stripe is interrupted at the middle and in 
some instances only indicated on the humeral callus. 
Lema opulenta (p. 6). (Z. ornata, Tab. I. fig. 3.) 
The reference to the Plate was accidentally omitted on p. 6. 
Lema salvini (p. 6). 
Also obtained by Mr. Champion at the locality given ; this insect may be readily 
distinguished from the preceding two species by the elytra having the lateral margins, 
in addition to a discoidal and sutural stripe, black. 
25 (a). Lema bistriata. 
Fulvous, the antenne (the basal joint excepted) and the tibie and tarsi black; elytra closely and deeply 
punctate-striate, the interstices longitudinally costate, the suture very narrowly, and a sublateral stripe, 
metallic bluish-black. 
Length 23-22 lines. 
Head constricted behind the eyes, very finely transversely strigose on the vertex, the space surrounding the 
eyes swollen, the latter somewhat deeply notched; the labrum and mandibles fulvous; antenne two 
thirds the length of the body, slender, black, the first joint fulvous; thorax scarcely broader than long, 
but very moderately constricted at the sides, the basal sulcation not very strongly marked, the surface 
impressed with a few very minute punctures on the middle (only to be seen under a very strong lens); 
scutellum fulvous; elytra rather flattened, without any trace of a basal depression, closely and deeply 
punctured, the interstices distinctly longitudinally costate, the second and the two outer coste much 
broader than the others, the intermediate coste confluent behind at some distance from the apex, with 
the suture narrowly, and a narrow stripe (placed just within and accompanying the strongly thickened 
lateral margin), commencing at the shoulder (where it is much h wider) and extending nearly to the apex, 
metallic blue, the ninth row of punctures entire. 
Hab. Muxico, Juquila (Sallé). 
This species may be separated from L. bilineata, L. abrupta, and others belonging to
