252 Mr. Martin Jacoby’s List of the Phytophagous 
at the base of the elytra, indicating the ground-colour of 
the type. 
Lema obscura. 
Lema obscura, Fabr., Syst. Eleuth., i., p. 476 ; Lacord., 
Mon., p. 361. 
Hab. St. Vincent; Grenada—Bulthazar (Windward 
side). 
Specimens from these localities agree entirely with 
others from Brazil in my collection. It is curious that 
Lacordaire, who gives a long description of this insect, 
does not mention the short pubescence which covers all 
the upper part of the body—a character of rare occur-

so far north as the Isthmus of Panama. 
Lema vittatipennis. 
Lema vittatipennis, Baly, Cist. Ent., i1., p. 315.

The types were from the Amazons.

Lema marginata, Oliv., Ent., vi., p. 748, t. 2, fig. 35 ;

Hab. Grenada—Mount Gay Estate (Leeward side). 
Inhabits the northern part of South America. 
Lema insularis. 
Lema insularis, Jac., Biol. Centr.-Am., Col., vi., 1, 
Suppl., p. 30, t. 35, fig. 20. 
Var. Antenne entirely black. 
Hab. St. Vincent—Leeward and Windward sides. 
The St. Vincent specimens agree so nearly with the 
type from Taboga I., Panama, that I refer them to that 
species: the only difference I can detect is the entirely 
black colour of the antenne, the apical three joints being 
flavous in the type; the elytral band in the latter also
