depression, will enable L. illigeri to be more readily recognized. In a single specimen, 
also obtained in Yucatan, and which possibly represents another closely allied species, 
the posterior femora are strongly thickened and have a black streak on their inner side, 
the breast has (on one side) a black mark, and the head several black spots; but these 
markings are possibly abnormal. 
55 (c). Lema jalapensis. 
Reddish-fulvous, the clypeus, labrum, antenne, and legs (the base of the femora excepted) black; thorax 
impunctate; elytra metallic blue, deeply impressed below the base, strongly punctured, the interstices 
flat, the ninth row of punctures interrupted. 
Length 23 lines. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége). 
L. jalapensis has the general appearance of L. eremita ; it differs principally in the 
thorax being deeply constricted at the sides, and the anterior portion diverging strongly 
outwards, and having (as in Z. sallei and L. guatemalensis) a small tubercle placed at 
the anterior angles. From the two last-named species L. jalapensis may be separated 
by the fulvous underside and base of the femora. The elytra have a deep (but small) 
depression below the base, the punctures are not very closely placed, and the interstices 
are flat. The antenne are entirely black. From ZL. guatemalensis the species is distin- 
guished by its larger size and the much deeper elytral depression. 
55 (p). Lema spectabilis. 
Black, the head, the basal joints of the antenne, thorax, and legs fulvous; elytra metallic blue, the base with 
a short and deep depression, strongly punctured, the ninth row interrupted. 
Length 2 lines. 
Head entirely fulvous; the eyes somewhat deeply notched, the space surrounding them somewhat rugose ; 
antenne proportionately short, the third joint shorter than the fourth, the three or four lower joints (in 
one specimen nearly all the joints) fulvous, the others black; thorax not longer than broad, the sides 
moderately constricted, the basal groove distinct but not deep, the surface impunctate, fulvous; scutellum 
fuivous; elytra with a short but rather deep depression below the base, somewhat strongly punctured 
anteriorly and much more finely so towards the apex, the ninth row of punctures interrupted for a short 
distance; underside and legs entirely fulvous. 
Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca (Sallé). 
Two specimens. JL. spectabilis may perhaps best be compared with ZL. eremita, on 
account of the thorax, though shorter, being feebly constricted at the sides; it also 
differs in the fulvous (not black) labrum, the colour of the antenne (in one specimen 
the six, in the other the four, basal joints are fulvous), and the black (not fulvous) 
under surface. | 
55 (z). Lema sallei. 
Black, the head (the clypeus excepted) and thorax rufous; thorax with the anterior angles acute; elytra
