only moderately raised ; antennae black, short and robust, the 

 basal joint fulvous, second joint very small, third and fourth 

 each about twice as long, more or less fulvous below, the rest 

 subquadrately widened, robust, terminal joint obscure fulvous. 

 Thorax only moderately constricted at the sides, the constriction 

 gradually joined on to the basal sulcus, the latter deep ; the 

 middle of the disc with a few fine punctures. Scutellurn black. 

 Elytra metallic blue, subcylindrical, with only slight indication of 

 a basal depression, the punctures round and deep, closely placed, 

 slightly smaller posteriorly ; the epipleurae from the base to the 

 middle fulvous, the extreme basal margin likewise more or less 

 fulvous. The breast black, rest of the underside and the legs 

 fulvous. 



Length 4 mm.

I only know of a single specimen of this species obtained by 

 M. Cardon. The short and robust subquadrate joints of the 

 antennae and the colour of the elytral epipleurae will help to 

 distinguish the species from its numerous allies.

Zeit. 1903, p. 22. 



Fulvous ; antennas black, the basal and apical two joints fulvous ; 

 elytra metallic green or blue. 



Head entirely fulvous and impunctate, the intraocular space 

 moderately swollen and divided by a shallow groove ; antennae 

 rather more than half the length of the body ; third and fourth 

 joints equal, following joints more elongate. Thorax subquadrate, 

 moderately constricted at the sides, the basal sulcus deep ; the 

 surfa.ce scarcely perceptibly punctured. Scutellum fulvous. Elytra 

 bright metallic yellowish-green or blue, with a very deep fovea 

 below the base, finely and rather remotely punctate-striate, the 

 punctures obsolete towards the apex. Legs fulvous, the posterior 

 tibiae slightly curved. 



Length 4 mm.

Differs from other similarly coloured species by the colour of 

 the antennae, the deep elytral fovea, and the remotely placed 

 elytral punctures, also by the flat interstices and general size. 



36. Lema intacta, sp. n. 



Fulvous ; the antennae and tarsi black ; elytra metallic blue. 



Head entirely fulvous, impunctate ; intraocular space swollen, 

 undivided ; eyes not very deeply notched ; antennae black, extended 

 to the middle of the elytra, third and fourth joints equal, all 

 the following joints elongate and slender. Thorax subquadrate, 

 the constriction at the sides moderate, the anterior portion not 

 much widened, with the angles very slightly pointed ; the disc with
