Fulvous ; eighth and ninth joints of the antennae black ; 

 thorax with black spot at sides. 

 Elytra with sutural and apical 

 spots, a transverse baud before and 

 another behind the middle, black. 



Closely allied to the preceding 

 species but can be distinguished by 

 the black spot at the base of the 

 thorax and on the sides and by the 

 extra sutural basal and small apical 

 spot on the elytra ; the antennae 

 are longer and more slender, and 

 the posterior femora extend beyond 

 the apex of the elytra ; the thorax 

 in addition to the basal sulcus has 

 also another transverse more or 

 less distinct groove placed near 

 the anterior margin. 



Length 8-9 mm.

106. Lema maindroni, sp. n. 



Fulvous ; antennae, extreme apex of tibiae and the tarsi black. 



Elytra with a spot near scutellum and a short elongate baud near 



apex bluish. 



Head not constricted posteriorly, fulvous, strongly bitubereulate 

 between the eyes, the elevations divided 

 posteriorly only ; eyes moderate, deeply 

 notched; ctypeus and labrum black; antennae 

 slender at the base, gradually but slightly 

 thickened towards the apex, basal four joints 

 fulvous, the third and fourth black above, 

 the others entirely of that colour. Thorax 

 subquadrate, the anterior portion only mode- 

 I rately widened, the constriction not deep 

 J and sulciform but bounded above by a short 

 perpendicular ridge, the disc not perceptibly 

 punctured. Elytra fulvous with a very 

 short and feeble basal depression, closely 

 and strongly puuctate-striate, the punctures 

 round ; a round spot near the scutellum 

 and a rather broad stripe from the middle 

 to near the apex, between the third and 

 sixth row of punctures (sometimes in shape of 

 an elongate spot), metallic bluish. Beneath

and the legs fulvous.
