obscure fulvous ; rest of the surface black with a few punctures 

 anteriorly and medially. Scutellum black. Elytra with a small 

 sutural depression below the base, narrowed posteriorly, the 

 punctures tine except within the depression, closely placed ; the 

 interstices costate at the apex. Sides of the breast and the legs 

 black, the latter rather slender, rest of the underside fulvous. 



Length 3 mm. 



Hub. Burma : Kuby Mines (Doherty). Type in Brit. Mus. 



One of the smallest members of the genus and well distinguished 

 by its coloration. 



71. Lema tharawaddyensis, sp. n. 



Obscure fulvous. 



Supraocular grooves of the head very deep, the intermediate 

 space raised, but undivided by a groove; last joint of palpi 

 thickened ; antenna fulvous, rather short, the third joint only 

 half the length of the fourth, the following joints elongate. 

 Thorax distinctly longer than broad ; the anterior angles very 

 slightly pointed ; the lateral constrictions deep ; basal sulcus 

 moderately deep, placed at some distance from the margin. Elytra 

 broadly and slightly depressed at the basal portion, the punctu- 

 ration rather fine, more strongly marked at the base, the interstices 

 from the middle downwards slightly costate. Body beneath and 

 legs fulvous. 



Length 6 mm. 



Hah. Burma (Coll. H. E. Andrewes}. 



The thickened last joint of the palpi, a thorax longer than broad, 

 the flattened, scarcely transverselv impressed elytra at the base, and 

 the structure of the antennae will help in the recognition of this 

 unicolorous species. 



SECTION VI, 

 Thorax with two transverse sulci. Colour as in preceding section. 



72. Lema maheensis, sp. n. 



Fulvous ; labrum and sides of breast black. 



Head im punctate, intraocular space highly raised, divided by a 

 longitudinal groove ; eyes very deeply notched ; anterior portion 

 of the clypeus and the labrum black ; antenna? fulvous, terminal 

 joints rather short and thick. Thorax very slightly broader than 

 long, anteriorly the angles rather acute, in shape of very small 

 tubercles ; the disc with an anterior and posterior transverse sulcus, 

 the former more shallow than the latter, but very distinct and 

 extending across the disc, posterior sulcation with a small central 

 fovea; sides of the thorax only moderately constricted, the cavity 

 of the constriction bounded above bv a short perpendicular rlde. 

 Elytra very feebly depressed below the base, the punctures round 

 and rather closely plared, gradually diminishing in size towards the 

 apex. Beneath and the legs fulvous, sides of the breast black.
