CHRY SOMELID JE. 
Section Y. 
Thorax ivith single basal sulcus. Colour above testaceous , pale 
or dark fulvous. Species of large size (7-10 mm.). 
46. Lema atkinsoni, sp. n. 
Broad and robust ; antennae (basal two joints excepted), tibiae 
and tarsi black. 
Head constricted posteriorly, impnnctate ; eyes large, deeply" 
notched, the vertex with an obsolete groove, scarcely raised, the 
lateral grooves deep. Antennae black, extend to slightly beyond the 
base of the elytra, the basal two joints flavous, the third and fourth 
short and equal, basal four joints shining, the rest opaque, 
pubescent, terminal joints subcylindrically widened, twice as long 
as broad. Thorax broad and flat, deeply constricted at the sides, 
the anterior angles strongly produced and rounded, the lateral 
cavities bounded by an acute ridge above ; the disc with several 
rows of fine punctures, otherwise impunctate. Scutellum narrow, 
flavous. Elytra with the shoulders oblique, the basal portion 
neither raised nor depressed, the inner four or five rows of punctures 
at the base strong, rest of the surface finely punctured, all the rows 
consist of single punctures, the interstices sparingly and minutely 
punctate. 
Length 10 mm. 
Hab. Sikhim : Mungphu. Type in Brit. Mus. 
Allied to L. bohemanni, Clark, from China {russula, Boh.), from 
which species the insect described above differs as follows : — no 
basal depression near the suture ; interstices not smooth but finely 
punctured. 
47. Lema rufo-brunnea, sp. n. 
Dark brown ; the antennae, tibiae and tarsi black. 
This is so closely allied to the preceding species that it will be 
sufficient to point out the differences. It has nearly the same 
broad and robust shape but is of a dark brown, not flavous, colour ; 
the antennae are entirely black and of a rather more slender shape ; 
the thorax is somewhat longer and not nearly so deeply constricted 
nor widened anteriorly as in L. atlcinsoni, and the ely tra are rather 
more strongly r punctured ; in all other respects the two species are 
alike. 
Length 9| mm. 
Hab. Assam : Patkai Mts. Type in Brit. Mus. 
48. Lema peguensis, sp. n. 
Dark brown, head and thorax nearly black. 
Of rather flattened shape. Head distinctly bituberculate at the 
vertex, eyes moderately deeply notched ; antennae stout and rather
