p. xxvi ; Weise, Deut. ent. Zeit. 1903, p. 23. 
Piceous, the mouth and antenna? black ; breast, scutellum and 
thorax rufous ; elytra cyaneous. 
Head short ; face triangular, concave between the eyes, the 
latter very prominent, globular ; forehead nearly iinpunctate ; 
antennae scarcely equal in length to half the body, robust, 
increasing in thickness towards their apices, basal joints piceous. 
Thorax rather longer than broad, deeply impressed with subremote 
large punctures at middle and sides ; a longitudinal space on 
either side of the disc smooth, impunctate. Elytra strongly and 
closely punctured, interstices flat. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hob. India. 
Separated by the subglobuiar shape of the anterior portion 
of the thorax. The puncturation of the thorax occupies the 
middle of disc and sides ; femora obscurely stained with metallic 
blue. 
33. Lema rotundicollis, sp. n. 
Black ; head and thorax fulvous ; elytra dark blue. 
Head impunctate, labrum black ; antennae black, extending to 
middle of elytra, basal joint fulvous, terminal joints strongly 
thickened but longer than broad. Thorax subcylindrical, anterior 
portion strongly thickened and rounded, sides only slightly con- 
stricted ; basal sulcus deep, continued on the sides ; surface 
strongly punctured near anterior angles, in the middle with two 
rows of fine punctures. Scutellum piceous. Elytra subcylindrical, 
scarcely depressed below base ; puncturation very deep and close, 
the punctures slightly elongate ; interstices feebly raised, slightly 
rugose below base. Underside and legs black. 
Length 3| mm. 
Hub. Nilgiris (II. L. Anclreives ). 
Closely allied to L. globicollis , Baly, but smaller, the antennae 
are longer, the terminal joints less strongly transverse but longer, 
also thickened ; the thorax has only two central rows of punctures 
and the elytral interstices are slightly convex.

Labrum fulvous. General colouring as preceding species. 
34. Lema epipleuralis, sp. n. 
Eulvous ; antennae and breast black ; elytra metallic dark blue, 
their epipleurae fulvous at base. 
Head finely punctured at the vertex, fulvous ; eyes widely 
separated, broadly but not deeply notched, the intermediate space
