LEMA WALLACEI. 11 



Malayan Archipelago. L. cyanea Lac. and L. atro-coerulea 

 Clark seem nearly allied forms ; fi*om tlie first L. Wallacei 

 may be separated by the want of the anterior thoracic 

 groove and from either by its much smaller size. 



AspidolopJia ornata , n. sp. 



Oblong , parallel , fulvous ; below closely pubescent. Ter- 

 minal joints of antennae black. Head and elytra metal- 

 lic greenish blue , the latter closely punctured , a trans- 

 verse spot at the basal margin , an obscure narrow band 

 before the middle and a small triangular spot near the 

 apex of each elytron , fulvous. — Length 3 lines. 



Head very closely and finely punctured , the sides finely 

 strigose and subopaque ; epistome more shining , transverse , 

 finely punctured , its sides flavous. Labrum piceous. First 

 joint of the antennae incrassate , flavous , second and third 

 joints very small , of nearly the same length , fourth joint 

 elongate, as long as the two preceediug joints together, 

 rest of the joints transverse, extending to the base of the 

 thorax. The latter transversely convex , the posterior mar- 

 gin sinuate at each side , the medial lobe very slightly 

 produced and nearly straight; sides slightly rounded as 

 well as the posterior angles ; surface extremely finely punct- 

 ured at the disk, more distinctly at the sides and near 

 the posterior angles , entirely fulvous. Scutellum strongly 

 elevated, broadly triangular, obscure fulvous with a metal- 

 lic bluish gloss. Elytra moderately convex, not widened 

 behind , distinctly lobed at the shoulders , very closely 

 and irregularly punctate with indications of longitudinal 

 smooth narrow lines , the interstices finely rugose at the 

 sides, of a metallic greenish blue colour, interrupted by 

 a pale fulvous transverse spot placed at the basal margin 

 near the scutellum, a somewhat darker narrow stripe of 

 which the ends only are distinct in shape of a fulvous
