 duabus, thoracis maculis quatuor, quadratim dispositis, elytrorum 

 maculis quatuor, duabus pone basin parvis, duabusque ante apicem 

 magnis, pectore, femorum singulorum macula, tibiarum apice, 

 tarsis antennisque nigris, his subfiliformibus, dimidio corporis 

 lougioribus, articulis duobus basalibus fulvo-flavis ; thorace sub- 

 quadrato, lateribus sat coarctato, ante basin transversim sulcato,

The more robust, shorter, black antennae, with the second 

 and third joints nearly equal, will distinguish this species from 

 L. quadriplagiata and L. histrio. 



Lema Downesii, Baly. 



L. subelongato-parallela, pallide fulva, nitida, antennis (basi excepta) 

 tarsisque fuscis ; scutello elytrorumque vitta suturali, ante apicem 

 abbreviata, nigris ; thorace elongatulo, basi transversim sulcato, 

 lateribus vix pone medium modice constrictis, antice subgloboso, 

 Isevi, lateribus et disci medio fortiter subremote punctato ; elytris 

 infra basin haud transversim impressis, profunde punctato-striatis, 

 interspatiis prope apicem elevatis, secundo octavoque apice coeun- 

 tibus callosisque.

 transversim sulcato, leviter irregulariter punctato ; scutello piceo ;
