only moderately raised ; antennae black, short and robust, the 
basal joint fulvous, second joint very small, third and fourth 
each about twice as long, more or less fulvous below, the rest 
subquadrately widened, robust, terminal joint obscure fulvous. 
Thorax only moderately constricted at the sides, the constriction 
gradually joined on to the basal sulcus, the latter deep ; the 
middle of the disc with a few tine punctures. iScutellum black. 
Elytra metallic blue, subcylindrical, with only slight indication of 
a basal depression, the punctures round and deep, closely placed, 
slightly smaller posteriorly ; the epipleurse from the base to the 
middle fulvous, the extreme basal margin likewise more or less 
fulvous. The breast black, rest of the underside and the legs 
fulvous. 
Lent /th 4 mm. 
Hob. Bengal: Mandar (Coll. Jacoby'). 
I only know of a single specimen of this species obtained by 
M. Cardon. The short and robust subquadrate joints of the 
antennae and the colour of the elytral epipleuree will help to 
distinguish the species from its numerous allies.

Eulvous ; antennae black, the basal and apical two joints fulvous ; 
elytra metallic green or blue. 
Head entirely fulvous and impunctate, the intraocular space 
moderately swollen and divided by a shallow groove; antennae 
rather more than half the length of the body ; third and fourth 
joints equal, following joints more elongate. Thorax subquadrate, 
moderately constricted at the sides, the basal sulcus deep ; the 
surface scarcely perceptibly punctured. IScutellum fulvous. Elytra 
bright metallic yellowish-green or blue, with a very deep fovea 
below the base, finely and rather remotely punctate-striate, the 
punctures obsolete towards the apex. Legs fulvous, the posterior 
tibiae slightly curved. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hob. Ceylon. 
Differs from other similarly coloured species by the colour of 
the antennae, the deep elytral fovea, and the remote^ placed 
elytral punctures, also by the fiat interstices and general size. 
30. Lema intacta, sp. n. 
Eulvous ; the antennae and tarsi black ; elytra metallic blue. 
Head entirely fulvous, impunctate ; intraocular space swollen, 
undivided ; eyes not very deeply notched ; antennae black, extended 
to the middle of the elytra, third and fourth joints equal, all 
the following joints elougate and slender. Thorax subquadrate, 
the constriction at the sides moderate, the anterior portion not 
much widened, with the angles very slightly pointed ; the disc with
