Piceous, the mouth and antennae black ; breast, scutellum and 

 thorax rufous ; elytra cyaneous. 



Head short; face triangular, concave between the eyes, the 

 latter very prominent, globular ; forehead nearly impunctate ; 

 antennae scarcely equal in length to half the body, robust, 

 increasing in thickness towards their apices, basal joints piceous. 

 Thorax rather longer than broad, deeply impressed with subremote 

 large punctures at middle and sides ; a longitudinal space on 

 either side of the disc smooth, impunctate. Elytra strongly and 

 closely punctured, interstices flat. 



Length 4 mm. 



Hob. India. 



Separated by the subglobuiar shape of the anterior portion 

 of the thorax. The puncturation of the thorax occupies the 

 middle of disc and sides ; femora obscurely stained with metallic 

 blue. 



33. Lema rotundicollis, sp. n. 



Black ; head and thorax fulvous ; elytra dark blue. 



Head impunctate, labrum black; antennas black, extending to 

 middle of elytra, basal joint fulvous, terminal joints strongly 

 thickened but longer than broad. Thorax subcylindrical, anterior 

 portion strongly thickened and rounded, sides only slightly con- 

 stricted ; basal sulcus deep, continued on the sides ; surface 

 strongly punctured near anterior angles, in the middle with two 

 rows of fine punctures. Scutellum piceous. Elytra subcylindrical, 

 scarcely depressed below base ; puncturation very deep and close, 

 the punctures slightly elongate ; interstices feebly raised, slightly 

 rugose below base. Underside and legs black. 



Length 3| mm. 



Hub. Nilgiris (H. L. Andrew**). 



Closely allied to L. globicollis, Baly, but smaller, the antennae 

 are longer, the terminal joints less strongly transverse but longer, 

 also thickened ; the thorax has only two central rows of punctures 

 and the elytral interstices are slightly convex. 



SECTION II. 

 Labrum fulvous. General colouring as preceding species. 



34. Lema epipleuralis, sp. n. 



Fulvous ; antenna and breast black ; elytra metallic dark blue, 

 their epipleuraa fulvous at base. 



Head finely punctured at the vertex, fulvous; eyes widely 

 separated, broadly but not deeply notched, the intermediate space
