groove ; eyes prominent, not deeply notched. Thorax subquadrate, 

 with a well-marked sulcus, the base obsoletely wrinkled, the other 

 portions impunctate. Elytra without any basal elevation, moderately 

 strongly punctured, the interstices, if examined under a strong 

 lens, finely rugose. Breast and the base of the abdomen as 

 well as the intermediate and posterior legs black, the others 

 fulvous. 



Length 5 mm.

Distinguished chiefly by the colour of the underside and that of 

 the legs. 



64. Lema rufo-testacea, Clark, App. Cat. Phytoph. 1866, p. 29. 

 Testaceous ; elongate and parallel. Head impunctate ; frontal 



elevation smooth, moderately raised, divided posteriorly only ; 

 antennae entirely fulvous, the fifth and following joints slender, 

 elongate. Thorax slightly broader than long, the anterior angles 

 rounded ; the lateral constrictions are deep, bounded above by a 

 short, perpendicular ridge and join the very deep basal sulcus, 

 the latter with a rather deep fovea at the middle ; the surface 

 impunctate or with a few minute punctures. Scutellum smooth. 

 Elytra with a deep humeral sulcus and another short very deep 

 basal depression near the suture that occupies the second to the 

 fourth row of punctures on that portion, the punctures themselves 

 very deep at the base and rather distantly placed, those behind the 

 middle much finer, all the interstices at the apex and the outer 

 two at the sides costate. 



Length 5 mm. 



Hob. Deccan; Malabar: Mahe ; Assam: PatkaiMts. ; Burma: 

 Momeit. 



Allied to L.fulvula, Lac. and L. lacertosa, Lac., but with more 

 slender antennae, differently coloured underside, and depressed 

 general shape. 



65. Lema impotens, Lacord. Mon. Phytoph. i, 1845, p. 335. 



Elavo-testaceous ; antennae and legs very pale. 



" Head only slightly constricted posteriorly, the vertex smooth,, 

 with a short groove posteriorly ; eyes deeply emarginate ; antennae 

 slender, half the length of the body. Thorax moderately con- 

 stricted, entirely impunctate, with some obsolete transverse ridges 

 behind the basal sulcus. Elytra with a semicircular basal de- 

 pression which nearly unites with the intrahumeral sulcus and 

 has the usual strong puncturation at the base." 



Length 4-5 mm.

A somewhat doubtfully distinct species, of which the description
