LEMA (p. 2, and Suppl. p. 8). 
3 (p). Lema smithi. 
Black, above blue, green, or dark violaceous; head impunctate; thorax broader than long, punctured ante- 
riorly and on the disc; elytra with a distinct basal depression, strongly punctate-striate, the ninth stria 
‘entire, the interstices costate at the apex. 
Length 2 lines. 
Head not constricted behind the eyes, impunctate, the anterior portion pubescent, the eyes not deeply notched ; 
antenne black, extending only a little beyond the base of the elytra, the fourth joint scarcely longer 
than the third, the following joints gradually thickened ; thorax broader than long, moderately con- 
stricted at the sides, the basal sulcus deep and impressed with a fovea at the middle, the disc with a 
double row of punctures at the middle and some others near the anterior angles; elytra with a rather deep 
sutural depression below the base, strongly and regularly punctate-striate; underside and legs black, ” 
clothed with silvery-grey pubescence. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
From other similarly-coloured species from our region belonging to Lacordaire’s 
first division, Z. smithi is distinguished by the short antenne, in connection with the 
punctured thorax, the basal depression of the elytra, and the black underside. Six 
examples. 
3 (x). Lema fulvipes. 
/Eneous, the antenne and legs fulvous; thorax broad, strongly and irregularly punctured; elytra deeply 
depressed below the base, strongly and regularly punctate-striate, the ninth stria entire, the interstices 
costate at the apex. 
Length 2 lines. 
Head rather long, very sparingly and finely punctured on the vertex, more closely and strongly so between 
the eyes, the latter but slightly notched, the interocular space divided by a longitudinal groove, the surface 
in front of the eyes rugosely punctured ; antennz scarcely extending to the middle of the elytra, fulvous, 
the apex of the terminal joint fuscous, the third and fourth joints equal; thorax metallic exneous, 
broader than long, the sides but moderately constricted, the anterior angles rather prominent, the disc 
somewhat uneven, obsoletely raised at the sides, and irregularly impressed with coarse and fine punctures ; 
elytra much broader than the thorax, depressed within the shoulders and below the base near the suture, 
the punctures coarse anteriorly, fine posteriorly, and distantly placed, the interstices broadly raised near 
the apex, the extreme apical and sutural margin obscure fulvous; underside more obscure neous, 
clothed with yellowish pubescence ; legs fulvous. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
A single specimen, apparently allied to L. ranthopus, Lac., and distinguished by the 
uniform brilliant metallic eneous colour of the upper surface, the shape and sculpture 
of the thorax, and the fulvous antenne and legs.
