labrum black ; antenna; black, long and slender. Thorax slightly 
broader than long, the sides only moderately constricted ; basal 
sulcus very deep, the space behind it with another obsolete 
transverse wrinkle ; the surface impunctate, very shining, black. 
Elytra rather flat, with a short but deep sutural depression below 
the base, strongly and closely punctate-striate anteriorly, the 
punctures somewhat elongate in the middle, much liner towards 
the apex, the interstices costate at the latter place and at the sides. 
Beneath black, clothed with line silvery pubescence. 
Length 5 mm. 
liab. India ( Coll . Jacoby). 
A small species which may be known by the fulvous tubercles 
of the head, the deep elytral depression and the black underside 
and legs.

Black ; vertex of head and legs fulvous ; thorax and elytra 
blackish-blue. 
Closely allied to L. fulvofrontalis but differs in the following 
details : — The vertex, although of fulvous colour is not raised into 
a divided elevation but is flat and the black colour of the lower 
portion extends upwards between the eyes, the latter are very 
feebly notched ; the thorax is dark blue, not black, and has some 
line punctures on the middle and anteriorly; the elytral depression 
is less deep and more obsoletely limited ; the legs are fulvous and 
the tarsi fuscous.

Thorax and elytra metallic blue or greenish ; species rather large . 
118. Lema rufofrontalis, sp. n. 
Body beneath, the head, antennae and thorax black with a bluish tint ; 
elytra metallic greenish-blue ; head with two high rufous tubercles. 
Amongst the unicolorous metallic species the present insect is 
principally distinguished by the subevlindrical elytra without 
basal depression, the puncturation below the base being more 
marked and very deep, all the punctures are closely set and as 
usual get finer posteriorly. The head is entirely black and has two 
highly raised rufous tubercles between the eyes; the antennae are 
rather short and black with only moderately elongate joints, the 
third distinctly shorter than the fourth. The thorax is very 
moderately constricted and has the anterior angles produced into 
a small point, the basal sulcus is deep and placed at some distance 
from the margin, the surface is black and impunctate. The 
puncturation at the base of the elytra is rather irregular near the 
suture with the interstices obsoletely rugose.
