CHRYSOMELIDJE. 
but not deeply notched ; antennae slender, fulvous, with the apex 
of each joint more or less black or with the terminal joints entirely 
of that colour. Thorax with the anterior portion rather strongly 
widened and the angles slightly tuberculate ; the sides only 
moderately constricted, the constriction forms a sulcus, not a 
cavity ; the disc with two short rows of punctures in the middle, 
the basal sulcus deep. Scutellum fulvous. Elytra fulvous, with a 
shallow sutural depression below the base, strongly and closely 
punctured anteriorly, with a rather broad greenish sutural band of 
nearly equal width and either extended to the apex or slightly 
shorter. Beneath black ; legs fulvous, the tarsi blackish at the 
apex of each joint, posterior femora extended to the end of the 
elytra. 
Length 4| mm. 
Hab. Malabar coast : Mabe (M. Maindron — Coll. Jacoby). 
83. Lema trifasciata, sp. n. 
Eulvous ; the antennae, clypeus and the tarsi black. Elytra 
flavous, the sutural and lateral margins and a narrow, longitudinal, 
oblique stripe from the shoulders to below the middle metallic 
blue. 
Head bituberculate at the vertex, with a deep central depression 
anteriorly, each elevation with another very small black tubercle 
at the top laterally; clypeus black; eyes deeply notched; the 
antennas black, not extended to the middle of the elytra, the 
basal two joints fulvous, terminal joints elongate. Thorax very 
moderately constricted at the sides, anterior portion only slightly 
widened, the angles rounded, lateral excavations rather narrow, 
with the usual ridge above, basal sulcus deep, followed by a narrow 
transverse ridge; the surface impunctate, reddish-fulvous. Scu- 
tellum fulvous, concave. Elytra subeylindrical, slightly narrowed 
posteriorly ; the punctures round, deep and closely placed at the 
base ; the interstices at the same place transversely wrinkled ; a 
very narrow sutural stripe, another stripe obliquely extended 
from the shoulders to behind the middle and the lateral margins 
metallic blue. Beneath and the legs fulvous, the extreme apex 
of the tibiae and the tarsi black. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hab. India : Sylhet (Bowring). Type in Brit. Mus. 
There is no other similarly marked species of Indian Lema. 
The present species may be at once recognized by the discoidal 
elytral stripe, halfway between the lateral and sutural margins, 
while the structure of the vertex of the head further characterizes 
this species of which I have seen two exactly similar specimens. 
84. Lema lycaon, sp. n. 
Eulvous ; antennae and underside fuscous. Elytra with sutural 
margins, a humeral and apical spot greenish-black.
