CHRYSQMELIDJE. 
90. Lema lateralis, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxvii, 1893, p. 265. 
Dark metallic blue ; antennae black, the upper part of the head, 
the thorax and the abdomen fulvous ; elytra metallic blue, the sides 
with a fulvous longitudinal band. 
Head not constricted posteriorly, impunctate, the vertex fulvous, 
the lower portion and the space surrounding the eyes bluish- 
black, the latter deeply notched ; antennae black, not extended 
to half the length of the elytra, the terminal joints gradually 
widened. Thorax subquadrate, fulvous, sides only moderately 
constricted in the middle, the basal sulcus deep and placed nearly 
at the middle, the surface nearly impunctate. Scutellum piceous. 
Elytra metallic blue, without basal depression, with deep punctures, 
the latter gradually diminishing in size posteriorly, the inter- 
stices slightly convex at the apex ; the sides with a fulvous band 
that commences at the shoulders, is strongly widened at the 
middle and abbreviated at the apex. Breast and legs bluish-black, 
abdomen fulvous. 
Length 5 mm. 
Hob. India. 
This may be only a variety of L. semiftilva , Jac., in which the 
amount of fulvous colour of the elytra is larger and black substi- 
tuted for blue. 
91. Lema semivittata, Clark, App. Cat. Phytoph. 1866, p. 31. 
Cserulean blue ; elytra with marginal bands at middle and 
apex rufo-flavous ; underside rufo-fuscous ; legs flavous ; antennae 
fuscous. 
Elytra parallel and robust; thehead rugose anteriorly, transversely 
foveolate between the eyes, smooth behind the latter. Thorax as 
long as broad, the anterior angles moderately rounded, the sides 
deeply constricted, the basal sulcus distinct, the surface sparingly 
punctured. Elytra caerulean blue, with a short basal fovea, strongly 
punctured, the interstices convex near the apex ; the lateral 
band constricted between the second and sixth rows below the 
shoulders, terminates posteriorly between the fourth and fifth 
rows. 
Length 4 mm. 
Llab. Northern India. 
This species is comparatively easy to discriminate on account 
of the metallic blue upper surface and the markings of the 
elytra. 
92. Lema rufo-tibialis, sp. n. 
Greenish-black beneath ; head and thorax fulvous ; labrum and 
antennae black ; elytra metallic blue, the base, the sides, tibiae and
