152 MARTIN .lACOBY 



The single specimen in tliis collection seems to differs suffi- 

 ciently from any other with which I am acquainted to be 

 considered new ; the finely rugose head , the broad and biim- 

 pressed thorax and the flat interstices of the elytra will distin- 

 guish the species. 



10. Le ma semifixlva, n. sp. 



Fulvous ; tlie antennae , labrum , the breast and legs black ; 

 thorax impunctate ; elytra strongly punctate-striate , black , the 

 sides from the base to below the middle narrowly fulvous. 



Length 2 72 li^^^s. 



Head impunctate ; the space between the eyes swollen , with 

 a central fovea ; eyes deeply notched ; labrum black ; antennae 

 two thirds the lengtli of the body, black, the third and fourth 

 joints equal ; thorax about one half broader than long , but 

 slightly constricted at the sides, the surface impunctate, with a 

 deep transverse groove at the base and an indication of another 

 short groove at the sides before the middle ; elytra rather 

 flattened , deeply punctate-striate , the ninth row of punctures 

 entire, the interstices costate from the middle to the apex, fulvous, 

 the entire disc occupied by a broad longitudinal band narrowed 

 anteriorly, leaving the sides only narrowly fulvous ; the breast 

 more or less and the legs entirely black ; abdomen fulvous. 



Bhamò, August. 



11. X^ema, Stevensi, Balv. 



Bhamò, Teinzò. 



Var. a. Elytra entirely violaceous blue. 



Var. b. The anterior portion of the elytra fulvous, the poste- 

 rior one, metallic blue. 



Although the coloration of the two specimens obtained in 

 Burmah differs from the type, described by M.»" Baly (Cistula 

 Vol. II) and likewise received from Burmah, I have not much 

 doubt about these varieties representing the same species wiiich
