24 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
Lema varipes (p. 8). | 
To the locality given, add:—Mexico, Vera Cruz (Sallé), Jalapa (Hoge) ; Costa Rica 
(Van Patten). 
Lema nupta (p. 8). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Tuxtla, Vera Cruz, Playa Vicente (Sal/é), 
N. Yucatan (Gawmer); Guaremata, San Isidro (Champion). 
It seems rather doubtful to me whether Z. nupta and L. varipes are really distinct ; 
apparently they only differ in the colour of the antenne, these organs having the first 
six joints fulvous (instead of the first four) in Z. nupta. I now possess specimens in 
which the five basal joints of the antenne are fulvous; these agree in other respects 
with both Z. nupta and L. varipes, thus showing that this colouring is subject to 
variation. The elytral spots are equally variable, some specimens being devoid of 
several, while others have them largely developed; intermediate degrees are also not 
wanting. J. varipes is stated by Lacordaire to be from Mexico; in speaking of 
L. nupta he says, however, that this species, as well as the preceding (ZL. varipes), is 
found in Colombia; several specimens of Z. nupta having now been received from 
Mexico proves this locality to be the correct one. 
86 (a). Lema stigmula. 
Pale fulvous; antenna (the first joint excepted), a spot on the vertex, another on the anterior part of the 
thorax, three spots on each elytron, placed triangularly, and the tibiae and tarsi, black. 
Length 33 lines. 
Head impunctate, with a small black spot on the middle of the vertex; eyes nearly entire; palpi robust; 
antenne short and stout, gradually widened and flattened towards the terminal joints, black, the basal 
joint fulvous; thorax scarcely broader than long, moderately constricted at the sides, with a deep fovea 
near the base, the basilar sulcation nearly obsolete, the surface with two rows of punctures on the middle 
of the disc and a few fine punctures near the anterior margin, the latter with a small black spot in the 
middle; scutellum small, black ; elytra of a paler colour than the thorax, very convex, robust, and without 
basal depression, distinctly punctate-striate, the interstices very minutely punctured, here and there some- 
what wrinkled, and towards the apex becoming subcostate, the three spots placed thus—one at the 
shoulders, one near the suture before the middle, and one a little lower down near the lateral margin ; 
underside fulvous, except a small black spot at the sides of the breast below the middle; tibie and 
tarsi black. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Cache (Rogers). 
A single specimen. JL. stigmula is distinguished from L. varipes and L. nupta by 
the broadly widened joints of the antenne, and the position of the spots and the fine 
punctuation of the interstices of the elytra. 
36 (p). Lema regularis, 
Testaceous ; antenne black, the two basal joints fulvous ; head with one spot, and the thorax with two lateral 
spots and a central line, black; elytra closely punctate-striate, a small spot at the shoulder, another
