punctate, with a transverse piceous spot below the middle at the 

 sides. 



Leiigth 4 lines. 



Broad and robust, the head elongate, deeply constricted behind 

 the eyes, the latter large, deeply notched, the surrounding grooves 

 deep, clypeus swollen, finely punctured, antennae scarcely exten- 

 ding to the base of the thorax, fulvous, the three penultimate joints 

 rather darker, the first four joints shining, short (the basai joint 

 excepted), the following transversely widened, opaque; thorax 

 longer than broad, subcylindrical, rather strongly constricted 

 below the middle, the surface entirely impunctate; elytra much 

 broader than the thorax, the basai portion below the scutellum 

 acutely raiced into a blunt point, the région round the élévation 

 and that near the apex and sides impressed with single deep 

 punctures (almost absent in one spécimen), the rest of the dise 

 entirely impunctate, with a subtriangular transverse piceous spot 

 below the middle, not quite extending to the suture; underside dark 

 fulvous, the sides of the breast and a spot at the sides of the 

 abdominal segments black, sparingly clothed with short yellow 

 pubescence, legs very robust, ail the femora strongly and rather 

 suddenly swollen, the tarsi pale fulvous. 



Hab. : Sumatra (in the Brussels Muséum and my own collection). 

 This interesting species is the third or fourth in which the 

 elytra show a hump-like élévation at the base, it is very closely 

 allied to G. camelusDxxs'w . (placed in Lema in Donckier's list of 1885), 

 but differs from that species in the very short antennae, in the 

 colour of the elytra and the absence of the rows of punctures 

 (even when examined under a strong lens) visible in C. camelus 

 according to the author's description, the colour of the legs also 

 differs in the two species; the short antennae and the absence 

 of any fine punctuation of the thorax and elytra also séparâtes 

 this species from C. dromedarius Baly. 



I hâve great pleasure in dedicating this species to my friend 

 M. G. Severin, through whose kindness I am enabled to describe 

 the species. 



Notes. 



Lema laticollis Jac. — This species, described by myself in the 

 Transact. Ent. Soc. London, 1888, is I believe identical 

 with Crioceris nigroptenctata Lac. The spécimen being 

 glued to a card, prevented me unfortunately to examine the 

 claws carefully. 



Lema robusta Jac. (Ann. Mus. Gen., 1892). ■ — This name mustbe 

 changedtoZ. crioceroides on account of L. robiistaLacorà.
