LEMA. 19 
deeply punctate-striate, the interstices costate towards the apex, a short sutural stripe at the base, a semi- 
lunate band at the shoulders, and another below the middle, black or bluish-black ; legs fulvous. 
Length 33-4 lines. 
Hab. Mexico, Pinos Altos in Chihuahua (Buchan-Hepburn), Jalapa (Hége). 
Two specimens. The pattern of the elytra in Z. maculigera resembles that of 
L. suffriani and L. hamata, from both of which the deep elytral punctuation and the 
more strongly costate interstices separate it. The thorax, instead of being impunctate, 
has some punctures at the sides of the anterior margin, and others placed longitudinally 
on the middle of the disc. The elytra are almost imperceptibly raised at (or depressed 
below) the base, but the markings vary in shape—in the specimen from Jalapa the 
humeral stripe is curved towards the suture at its lower end and is of equal width, in 
the other this stripe is narrower, more strongly curved, and extends nearer to the 
suture; in the latter the posterior semilunate band is interrupted at its middle, while 
the corresponding mark in the Jalapa specimen is shorter, less curved, and thicker. I 
cannot find any other differences to separate the two forms, except the more strongly 
raised elytral cost, which I think indicate sexual difference only, in the Jalapa insect. 
The Jalapa specimen is figured. 
27 (a). Lema sexlineata. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 22.) 
Testaceous, the head, the basal joint of the antenne, and the breast black; thorax impunctate; elytra finely 
punctate-striate, the suture anteriorly and posteriorly, a short stripe on each shoulder, and another near 
the apex at the sides, black. 
Length 3 lines. 
Hab. Guatemana, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
The single specimen before me differs again from L. suffriani and other allied forms 
in the elytral pattern and in the entirely testaceous legs. The antenne are testaceous, 
but with the first two joints black, and of half the length of the body; the space 
surrounding the eyes is rugose. The thorax is subquadrate, impunctate, and of pale 
testaceous colour like the rest of the upper surface. The elytra have a shallow 
depression below the base, and are finely punctate-striate beyond the middle; the 
three anterior stripes are of equal length, the humeral stripe being rather broader 
than the sutural one; the posterior lateral stripe is placed in a line with the one on the 
shoulder and close to the lateral margin, but is only half the size of the posterior sutural 
stripe, the latter does not quite extend to the apex.
