30 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
costate near the apex, a narrow sutural stripe extending from the base to the apex, and a short streak at 
the shoulders, black; underside black ; legs fulvous, all the femora with a black median spot. 
Hab. Mexico, near the city (Dr. Palmer). 
Of this species, remarkable for its short antenne and the rugose lower portion of the 
head, only a single specimen was obtained. 
45 (p). Lema insularis. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 20.) 
Fulvous, the head, antenne (the last three joints excepted), and breast black ; elytra testaceous, a short stripe 
at the shoulder, an elongate spot surrounding the scutellum, and a transverse band below the middle of 
each, bluish-black, the ninth row of punctures entire. 
Length 4 lines. 
Head impunctate, black, the neck fulvous; antenne slender, half the length of the body, the three lower joints 
stained with fulvous, the three apical ones flavous, the others black, the fourth joint one half longer than 
the third; thorax slightly longer than broad, deeply constricted at the middle, the surface impunctate, the 
basilar sulcation shallow; elytra with a slight depression below the base, distinctly punctured anteriorly, 
almost entirely impunctate below the middle, the interstices very slightly convex towards the apex, the 
markings arranged thus—a humeral stripe extending to one third of the elytral length and widened at 
its lower extremity, a scutellar spot (common to both elytra) slightly shorter than the lateral one, and a 
posterior transverse band not quite extending to either margin; legs and abdomen fulvous. 
Hab. Panama, Taboga Island (Champion). 
Very closely allied to the Colombian L. divalis, Clark, and possibly only a variety of 
that species; it differs in having the last three (instead of the last four) joints of the 
antenne flavous and in the fulvous (not black) legs. A single specimen only was 
obtained. 
45 (x). Lema incisa. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 24.) 
Piceous, the head and breast entirely, or partly, black ; antenne obscure fulvous; thorax deeply grooved at 
the base, the latter flavous; elytra depressed below the base, strongly punctate-striate, the anterior portion 
piceous, the posterior portion flavous, the ninth row of punctures entire. 
Length 24-3 lines. 
Head entirely impunctate, not constricted behind the eyes, piceous or black, the extreme base more or less 
fulvous, the space surrounding the eyes almost entirely impunctate ; antenne fulvous, the terminal joints 
sometimes darker, the third and fourth joints equal and each much longer than the second; thorax 
transverse, short, at least twice as broad as long, deeply constricted at the sides, the anterior angles 
slightly tuberculiform, the basilar groove very deep, the basal portion flavous, the” anterior portion dark 
brown and with a few fine scattered punctures; scutellum brown at the base, black at the apex; elytra 
with a shallow depression below the base, the shoulders prominent, the punctuation rather deep anteriorly 
and diminishing gradually towards the apex, the ground-colour flavous, the anterior half occupied by a 
subquadrate piceous patch which does not extend to the shoulders nor to the lateral margins and is of a 
browner tint near the suture ; the breast black, the abdomen piceous, the legs fulvous. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
I know of no described species with which the present insect can be compared. The 
deep thoracic groove and the pattern and colour of the elytra will readily distinguish 
i. incisa,
