1889. ] COLLECTED IN VENEZUELA. 265 
San Esteban. A single specimen. 
Allied to L. ducalis, Lac., L. buckley, Baly, and many others, but 
differing from all in the system of coloration. 
LEMA SIMONT, 0. sp. 
Fulvous ; antennz (the first joint excepted), the apex of the tibiz, 
and tarsi black ; thorax with three piceous spots, punctured on the 
disk ; elytra strongly punctured anteriorly only, the ninth row entire ; 
abdomen stained with piceous. 
Length 23 lines. 
Head constricted behind the eyes, the latter very prominent, deeply 
notched ; the vertex impunctate, the lateral grooves very deep ; palpi 
thickened, piceous ; antennz not extending to half the length of the 
elytra, black, the basal joint fulvous, the second very short, the 
third slightly shorter than the fourth joint ; thorax not longer than 
broad, not very deeply constricted at the sides; the basal sulcation 
shallow and only visible when viewed sideways, the surface with a 
double row of fine punctures down the middle, the sides anteriorly, 
and a longitudinal stripe at the middle, piceous ; scutellum piceous, 
with a basal fovea; elytra without any basal depression, strongly 
punctured at the base, the punctures gradually diminishing posteriorly 
and scarcely visible at the apex, the interstices very slightly convex 
at the latter place and at the sides, also impressed here and there 
with a few fine punctures ; underside and legs fulvous, the extreme 
apex of the tibize, the tarsi, and the middle of the abdominal segments 
piceous. 
San Esteban. A single specimen. 
Allied to Z. nupta, Lac., and several others belonging to that 
division, but differing in the colour of the antenne, that of the thorax, 
and in the immaculate elytra. 
LeMA EQUEsTRIs, Lac. 
A single specimen obtained at San Esteban agrees almost entirely 
with the Mexican forms. 
Lema CAuceaTA, Lac. 
I refer somewhat doubtfully the three specimens from San Esteban 
to this species, with the description of which they agree in the main 
points; the antennz may, however, be cailed rather robust, and the 
elytra, which show an oblique depression at the base (of which 
Lacordaire says nothing), are not finely but very deeply punctured, 
and the interstices here and there transversely raised ; everything 
else agrees with the author’s description, and as there are already 
several very closely allied species contained in Lacordaire’s 32nd 
group, I have preferred not to describe the present insect as another 
addition to it. 
LEeMA DUBIA, Lac. 
From San Esteban and Puerto Cabello.
