Hal. Tharrawaddy, Burmah. 



Amongst the unicolorous flavous species fromt he East, I know 

 none which can be compared to the présent insect, which has more 

 the shape and thorax of a species of Grioceris ; this and the finely 

 punctured elytral interstices aS well as the proportionately large 

 size will help to distinguish L, indica. Several spécimens are 

 before me. 



Lema palpalis Lac. 



Spécimens from Rangoon and Canara, I ara unable to separate 

 frora the Malayan forms, the incrassate palpi distinguish this 

 species from any other Eastern one, except Z. crassipalpis Duviv. 

 which diflfers in the coloration.
