is scarcely detailed enough for certain recognition amongst so many 
similar forms, but evidently closely allied to, if not identical with, 
L. rufo-testacea, Clk. 
66. Lema castanea, sp. n. 
Dark fulvous ; the labrum, antennas, legs and the underside 
black ; the anterior femora more or less fulvous beneath. 
Head not constricted, the vertex raised, with the usual central 
groove posteriorly ; eyes deeply notched, supraocular grooves very 
deep; labrum black; antennae black, long and slender, the basal 
two joints more or less fulvous beneath or entirely fulvous, third 
and fourth joints equal. Thorax moderately constricted, the 
lateral cavities rather elongate and narrow with the usual ridge 
above, the basal sulcus deep, placed near the basal margin. 
Elytra rather depressed, with the shoulders moderately prominent, 
the basal portion slightly raised, the depression deep and short 
and as usual more strongly punctured than the rest of the surface, 
the interstices flat except near the lateral margins. Legs slender 
and elongate, femora thickened, the anterior pair fulvous beneath. 
Length 4| mm. 
Hah. Assam : Sadiya, Patkai Mountains. 
Smaller than L. lacertosa, Lac., the labrum black, the basal 
portion of the elytra raised and their puncturation finer, the 
general colour above dark fulvous brown. 
67. Lema cerea, sp. n. 
Pale fulvous ; antennas (basal joint excepted) and tarsi black. 
Head not constricted, impunctate, the intraocular space swollen 
but not divided ; eyes triangularly and moderately deeply notched ; 
clvpeus and labrum fulvous ; antennae black, long and slender, the 
basal two joints fulvous, third joint slightly shorter than fourth. 
Thorax transverse, the anterior portion rather strougly dilated, 
the angles rounded, the basal sulcus very deep aud placed 
immediately behind the middle, the lateral cavities scarcely wider 
than the sulcus and bounded above by the usual ridge ; the disc 
impunctate. Elytra with prominent shoulders, the latter im- 
pressed with a narrow but deep groove within, which nearly joins 
the foveolate depression near the suture ; the puncturation very 
fine and not very closely placed behind the middle, the anterior 
portion as usual much more deeply and strongly punctured ; the 
interstices only costate at the sides near the apex. 
Length 5 mm. 
Hob. Travancore : Wallardi (Coll. Jacoby ); Nilgiris (Coll. 
Anclrewes). 
Of somewhat wax-like appearance, with the antennae, except 
the basal two joints, and the tarsi black ; the elytra with a foveo- 
late, rather sudden depression and finely punctured posterior 
portion.
