groove ; eyes prominent, not deeply notched. Thorax subquadrate, 
with a well-marked sulcus, the base obsoletely wrinkled, the other 
portions impunctate. Elytra without any basal elevation, moderately 
strongly punctured, the interstices, if examined under a strong 
lens, finely rugose. Breast and the base of the abdomen as 
well as the intermediate and posterior legs black, the others 
fulvous. 
Length 5 mm. 
Hab. Bengal ; Malay Peninsula ; China. 
Distinguished chiefly by the colour of the underside and that of 
the legs. 
64. Lema rnfo-testacea, Clark, App. Cat. Phytoph. 1866, p. 29. 
Testaceous ; elongate and parallel. Head impunctate ; frontal 
elevation smooth, moderately raised, divided posteriorly only ; 
antennae entirely fulvous, the fifth and following joints slender, 
elongate. Thorax slightly broader than long, the anterior angles 
rounded ; the lateral constrictions are deep, bounded above by a 
short, perpendicular ridge and join the very deep basal sulcus, 
the latter with a rather deep fovea at the middle; the surface 
impunctate or with a few minute punctures. Scutellum smooth. 
Elytra with a deep humeral sulcus and another short very deep 
basal depression near the suture that occupies the second to the 
fourth row of punctures on that portion, the punctures themselves 
very deep at the base and rather distantly placed, those behind the 
middle much finer, all the interstices at the apex and the outer 
two at the sides costate. 
Length 5 mm. 
Hab. Deccan; Malabar: Mahe ; Assam: PatkaiMts. ; Burma: 
Momeit. 
Allied to L. fulvula, Lac. and L. lacertosa , Lac., but with more 
slender antennae, differently coloured underside, and depressed 
general shape. 
65. Lema impotens, Lacord. Mon. Phytoph. i, 1845, p. 335. 
Elavo-testaceous ; antennae and legs very pale. 
“ Head only slightly constricted posteriorly, the vertex smooth, 
with a short groove posteriorly ; eyes deeply emarginate ; antennae 
slender, half the length of the body. Thorax moderately con- 
stricted, entirely impunctate, with some obsolete transverse ridges 
behind the basal sulcus. Elytra with a semicircular basal de- 
pression which nearly unites with the intrahumeral sulcus aud 
has the usual strong puncturation at the base.” 
Length 4-5 mm. 
Hab. Bengal: Calcutta. 
A somewhat doubtfully distinct species, of which the description
