Ç. Posterior femorse short and broad, scarcely extending beyoïid 

 Ihe elytra, Ihe lower edge with a sharp ridge of small teeth, the 

 tibise simple, ending into an acute point. 



Hah. Bornéo, Kina Balu. 



This species, of which I possess eight spécimens, resembles very 

 much S. longipes Baly from India but is of rather broader, less 

 elongate shape and bas the surface of the elytra more closely and 

 distinctiy although finely wrinkled, the elytral dépression also is 

 more marked, the posterior femora are as elongate but bave no 

 fulvous patch of pubescence at the apex, but the principal différence 

 is to be found in the absence of a tooth at the intermediate femora; 

 this tooth is very marked in the maie of S. longipes but Baly bas 

 not mentioned it in bis description, I hâve however examined the 

 type in the British Muséum and found it to agrée exactly in that 

 respect with my spécimen, there is no sign of a tooth in the présent 

 species although the intermediate femora are thickened as is usual. 



Lema moribunda n. sp. — Black, the head, antennœ and the 

 thorax reddish- fulvous, elytra hlack, trafisversely depressed helow the 

 hase, very finely punctate-striate^ legs hlack, the anterior ones fulvous. 

 — Length, 7 mill. 



Head deeply constricted behind the eyes, impunctate, the latter 

 very large and prominent, deeply notehed, the orbital grooves very 

 deep, clypeus thickened, impunctate, terminal joint of the palpi 

 ovate, antennge scarcely extending to the middle of the elytra, 

 fulvous, the third joint smaller than the fourth ; thorax about as 

 long as broad, deeply constricted below the middle, the anterior 

 angles rounded, the basai sulcus not very deep, the surface 

 impunctate, or with a few very minute punctures near the anterior 

 angles, scutellum blackish, elytra with a rather deep but short 

 dépression below the base, rather strongly punctured within the 

 dépression, very finely so at the rest of the surface, the apex nearly 

 smooth and impunctate, the interstices quite flat, latéral margin 

 thickened, the breast and abdomen as well as the posterior legs 

 black, anterior four legs more or less fulvous. 



Hah. New Guinea. 



This species, of which three spécimens are contained in my 

 collection, is closely allied to L. atripennis Baly and L. striatopunc- 

 tata Lac, but may be at once distinguished by the colour of the 

 underside and that of the legs. 



Lema medioplagiata n. sp. — Suhcylindrical, hlacMsh, thorax 

 distinctiy punctured, fulvous, elytra hluish fuscous, strongly and 

 closely punctate-striate, each elytron with a transverse or rounded 

 flavous spot near the middle. — Length, 4-5 mill.
