LEMA. 31 



rest fine and placed in striae, the interstices longitudinally convex 

 from the middle downwards. Beneath and the legs entirely 

 flavous, claws black. 



Length 9 mm. 



Hob. Ceylon (Yerbury). Type in Brit. Mus. 



A large species of entirely flavous shining coloration, the first 

 row of elytral punctures simple (Bradylema, Weise). It is larger 

 than L. indica, has the antennae entirely flavous, and the thorax 

 different in shape and structure.

 L. robusta, Jac. Ann. Mus. Genova, xxxii, 1892, p. 869. 



Beneath black, above fulvous, pygidium fulvous above. 



Eobust and broadly subcylindrical, the head deeply constricted 

 posteriorly, im punctate, supraocular grooves very deep; eyes 

 deeply notched ; antennae black, only extend a little beyond the 

 base of the thorax, the basal joint fulvous, the third and following 

 joints widened and compressed, opaque, the apex of the terminal 

 joint fulvous. Thorax subquadrate, moderately constricted at the 

 sides, the basal sulcus distinct but not deep, the surface minutely 

 and sparingly punctured. Elytra very convex, without basal 

 depression, strongly and deeply punctured anteriorly, more finely 

 so posteriorly. Underside and legs black, sparingly clothed with 

 silvery pubescence, the pygidium fulvous above. 



Length 7 mm. 



Hub. Burma : Teinzo. 



Principally distinguished by the short and flattened antennae 

 similar to many species of the genus Crioceris. 



54. Lema greeni, sp. n. 



Fulvous. 



Head strongly constricted posteriorly ; eyes deeply notched, 

 intraocular space scarcely raised, with a longitudinal fine groove ; 

 antennae short, fulvous, second joint very small, third slightly 

 shorter than fourth, the following joints widened, the terminal 

 three joints narrower again. Thorax distinctly longer than broad, 

 the anterior angles rounded, the basal sulcus placed at some distance 

 from the base, deep ; lateral cavities broad, bounded above by the 

 usual ridge ; the surface entirely impunctate. Scutellum rather 

 convex and broad. Elytra with a distinct but gradual basal de- 

 pression, the punctures within the latter deep, the rest fine, nearly 

 obsolete at the sides and from the middle downwards, the in- 

 terstices perfectly flat, lateral margins strongly thickened. Body 

 beneath shining, the sides of the breast clothed with golden 

 pubescence ; abdominal segments with fine patches of similar 

 hairs ; femora short and thick. 



Length 8 mm.
