50 CHBYSOMELIDJE. 



94. Lema spoliata, sp. n. 



Fulvous ; labrura, antennae, underside and the legs partly black. 



Head not constricted, convex at base ; intraocular space tri- 

 angularly raised, undivided, smooth ; labrum black ; antennae black, 

 scarcely extended to middle of elytra, basal two joints fulvous 

 beneath, fifth and following joints very elongate. Thorax 

 subquadrate, lateral constriction deeply sulciform, continued to 

 basal sulcus, anterior angles rather rounded : the surface entirely 

 impunctate, reddish-fulvous. Scutellum black, rather broadiy 

 subquadrate. Elytra with a deep foveolate depression below the 

 base, the punctures strong within the depression, fine on the rest 

 of the surface and nearly obsolete behind the middle ; the disc 

 crossed by a broad black longitudinal band, rather suddenly 

 narrowed at the base, the sides fulvous, this portion gradually 

 narrowed towards the apex. Beneath and the legs black, the 

 anterior femora fulvous at the apex. 



Length 5 mm. 



Hob. Assam : Patkai Mts. (DoJierty). Type in Brit. Mus. 



Distinguished by the colour of the antennae and their structure, 

 also by the thoracic constriction which does not form a cavity but 

 only a narrow sulcus. 



95. Lema ornaticollis, sp. n. 



Testaceous ; antennae and underside partly blackish. Thorax 

 with a lateral stripe and two elongate spots on disc black. Elytra 

 with broad sutural and marginal longitudinal bands greenish- 

 black. Legs marked with blackish bands. 



Head impunctate, testaceous, strongly constricted posteriorly ; 

 the neck with a black stripe at sides ; supraocular grooves very 

 deep ; eyes deeply notched ; antennae black, long and slender, 

 basal joint more or less pale, third and fourth equal, terminal 

 joints elongate. Thorax not longer than broad, anterior angles 

 rather blunt, basal sulcus deep, placed at some distance from basal 

 margin ; disc with a few fine punctures anteriorly ; sides with a broad 

 black stripe, two shorter stripes placed close together near middle 

 anteriorly, sometimes extended downwards as far as the sulcus. 

 Scutellum flavous or piceous. Elytra somewhat broadly flattened 

 anteriorly with shallow depression below base at suture, strongly 

 and closely punctate-striate, punctures finer at apex and there 

 placed in striae with narrowly costate interstices ; sutural band 

 slightly constricted at middle, extended to apex, lateral bands 

 widened at middle, not extended to apex. Femora above with a 

 black stripe ; outer edge of tibiae, tarsi and abdomen more or less 

 black. 



Length 4 mm. 



ffab, Nilgiris (H. E. Andrewes). 



Easily recognized by the markings of the head, thorax and elytra.
