Hab. Philippine Islands. 



The genus Lindinia was eslablished by Lefevre on some 

 Eumolpidae from the Philippine Islands, having the appearance 

 of a lihyparida or Nodostoma but differing in the deutate 

 femora and the shorter second Joint of the antennae, both 

 characters which do not seem to me to be sufficient for the 

 establishment of a new genus, since they are variable and 

 ofteu show iutermediate stages of development, I have never- 

 theless retaiued Lefevres genus for the present, L. Lefecrei 

 seems closely allied to L. cornigata Lefev. but differs 

 entirely in the sculpturing and colour of the elytra and 

 other details; the specimens before me have unarmed femora 

 which does not agree with the tApical forms. Three epecimeus 

 are contained in my collection.
