LEMA. 
39 
obscure fulvous ; rest of the surface black with a few punctures 
anteriorly and medially. Scutellum black. Elytra with a small 
sutural depression below the base, narrowed posteriorly, the 
punctures line except within the depression, closely placed ; the 
interstices costate at the apex. Sides of the breast and the legs 
black, the latter rather slender, rest of the underside fulvous. 
Length 3 mm. 
Bab. Burma : Ruby Mines (Doherty). Type in Brit. Mas. 
One of the smallest members of the genus aud well distinguished 
by its coloration. 
71. Lema tharawaddyensis, sp. n. 
Obscure fulvous. 
Supraocular grooves of the head very deep, the intermediate 
space raised, but undivided by a groove; last joint of palpi 
thickened ; antennae fulvous, rather short, the third joint only 
half the length of the fourth, the following joints elongate. 
Thorax distinctly longer than broad ; the anterior angles very 
slightly pointed; the lateral constrictions deep; basal sulcus 
moderately deep, placed at some distance from the margin. Elytra 
broadly and slightly depressed at the basal portion, the punctu- 
ration rather fine, more strongly marked at the base, the interstices 
from the middle downwards slightly costate. Body beneath and 
legs fulvous. 
Length 6 mm. 
Bab. Burma (Coll. B. E. Andrewes). 
The thickened last joint of the palpi, a thorax longer than broad, 
the flattened, scarcely transversely impressed elytra at the base, and 
the structure of the antennae will help in the recognition of this 
unicolorous species. 
Section VI. 
Thorax with two transverse sidci. Colour as in preceding section . 
72. Lema maheensis, sp. n. 
Fulvous ; labrum and sides of breast black. 
Head impunctate, intraocular space highly raised, divided by a 
longitudinal groove ; eyes very deeply notched ; anterior portion 
of the clypeus and the labrum black ; antennae fulvous, terminal 
joints rather short and thick. Thorax very slightly broader than 
long, anteriorly the angles rather acute, in shape of very small 
tubercles ; the disc with an anterior and posterior transverse sulcus, 
the former more shallow than the latter, but very distinct and 
extending across the disc, posterior sulcation with a small central 
fovea; sides of the thorax only moderately constricted, the cavity 
of the constriction bounded above bv a short perpendicular ridge. 
Elytra very feebly depressed below the base, the punctures round 
and rather closely placed, gradually diminishing iu size towards the 
apex. Beneath and the legs fulvous, sides of the breast black.
