 Several examples agreeing well with others I hâve examined 

 from CejioR, the locality of the species as originally described.

Bengal is the locality given by Fabricius for this species.

Belongs to the section of Lebia in which the elytra are deeply 

 striated with convex interstices glabrous and impunctate ; thestriae 

 are stronger and deeper even than in L. japonica.minuiely punc- 

 tulated at bottom and the interstices very convex. The thorax is 

 very short and broad, broadly rounded to the middle, from the 

 sides of the neck and thence parallel-sided to the hind angles 

 which are subacute and reflexed with the broadly explanated 

 latéral margin, the surface is distinctly coriaceous. The elytra 

 are black with an elongate-oval basai spot testaceous-red, on 

 each, reaching from the base (within the humerai angle) to the 

 middle of the elytron and covering interstices 2-6, but at the base 

 only 5 and 6 and at the apex 3-6 ; the apex is also broadly rufo- 

 testaceous together with the anterior margin biflexuous and the 

 extrême latéral margin with the epipleurse and the rest ofthe body. 

 The penultimate tarsal joint in the 4 hinder legs is not bilobed,but 

 simply triangular with the middle of the front edge emarginate. 



A single example of this species came with the first collection, 

 and was reserved as it seemed to be probabiy a variety of an 

 unpublished Burmese species (Z. Maliarani Bâtes). The arrivai 

 of a second identical spécimen shows that its différences are 

 constant and probably spécifie.
