following character : — In the present insect the third joint of 

 the antenna is double the length of the second, whilst in L. 

 histrio it is only from one-third to one-half longer. 



Lema Adamsii, Baly. 



L. elongata, subcylindrica, pallide fulvo-flava, nitida ; capitis maculis 

 duabus, thoracis maculis quatuor, quadratim dispositis, elytrorum 

 maculis quatuor, duabus pone basin parvis, duabusque ante apicem 

 magnis, pectore, femorum singulorum macula, tibiarum apice, 

 tarsis antennisque nigris, his subfiliformibus, dimidio corporis 

 longioribus, articulis duobus basalibus fulvo-flavis ; thorace sub- 

 quadrato, lateribus sat coarctato, ante basin transversim sulcato, 

 disco Isevi fere impunctato ; elytris fortiter punctato-striatis, infra 

 basin vix transversim impressis, interspatiis Isevibus, antice trans-

Long. 3 lin. 



Hab. Chusan. Collected by Mr. A. Adams. 



The more robust, shorter, black antennae, with the second 



and third joints nearly equal, will distinguish this species from 



L. quadriplagiata and L. histrio. 



Lema Downesii, Baly. 



L. subelongato-parallela, pallide fulva, nitida, antennis (basi excepta) 

 tarsisque fuscis ; scutello elytrorumque vitta suturab, ante apicem 

 abbreviata, nigris ; thorace elongatulo, basi transversim sulcato, 

 lateribus vix pone medium modice constrictis, antice subgloboso, 

 Isevi, lateribus et disci medio fortiter subremote punctato ; elytris 

 infra basin baud transversim impressis, profunde punctato-striatis, 

 interspatiis prope apicem elevatis, secundo octavoque apice coeun- 

 tibus callosisque. 



Long. 2 lin. 



Hab. Bombay; Bengal. 



Thorax smoother and more swollen than in L. suturella; 



third joint of antenna one-half longer than the second, equal in

Lema suturella, Baly. 



L. oblongo-parallela, fulva, nitida, tibiis tarsisque infuscatis, pectore 

 abdominisque basi nigris ; antennis (basi excepta) fuscis ; thorace 

 cylindrico, lateribus medio modice constrictis, supra ante basin 

 transversim sulcato, leviter irregulariter punctato ; scutello piceo ; 

 elytris infra basin vix transversim impressis, fortiter punctato- 

 striatis, interspatiis prope apicem costatis, linea suturali cyanea, 

 ante apicem abbreviata, instructis.
