LEM A.

28. Lema hopei, sp. n. 
Fulvous ; clypeus and labrum black ; elytra metallic dar 
greenish ; legs fulvous. 
Head impunctate, intraocular space highly raised and deeply 
divided ; eyes very prominent, triangularly but only moderately 
deeply notched ; clypeus and labrum black ; antennae with the 
basal six joints fulvous, the rest in the type and only specimen 
wanting, third and fourth joints equal, fifth and sixth elongate. 
Thorax moderately constricted at the sides, the constriction 
bounded above by a perpendicular ridge ; basal sulcus deep, the 
space below with a transverse raised line or ridge ; anterior angles 
rounded, the middle of the disc with a few minute punctures 
anteriorly. Scutellum fulvous. Elytra with a very shallow- 
depression below the base, deeply and strongly punctate-striate, 
the punctures finer towards the apex, the interstices at the latter 
place slightly convex. Underside and the legs fulvous, clothed with 
fine yellow pubescence. 
Length 5 mm. 
Hab. India (Coll. Jacoby). 
Distinguished by the rounded, not pointed, anterior angles of 
the thorax, fulvous antennae and underside. The species is 
closely allied to L. fulvicornis, Jac., from Ceylon, but is less broad 
than that insect and generally of smaller size, while the elytral 
puncturation is different.

Fulvous ; the labrum and antennae (the first joint excepted) 
black ; elytra metallic dark blue ; tarsi more or less fuscous. 
Head not constricted behind the eyes, impunctate, the frontal 
tubercles divided by a longitudinal groove ; eyes deeply notched ; 
labrum black ; anteunae black, extending to about half the length 
of the elytra, the first joint fulvous, the fourth longer than the 
third joint. Thorax only moderately constricted at the sides, 
the transverse groove distinct, the surface with a few fine punctures 
anteriorly and at the sides only. Scutellum fulvous. Elytra 
rather flattened, obsoletely depressed below the base, dark blue, 
distinctly and regularly punctate-striate, the interstices convex 
near the apex. Legs fulvous, tarsi obscure fuscous. 
Length 5 mm. 
Hab. Burma : Palon ; A_ssam : Patkai Mts. 
Nearly allied to L. mouhoti , Baly, but smaller, the head not 
constricted behind and the anrennte and tarsi black instead of 
fulvous ; the first-named parts have the fourth joint longer than 
the third, in which they differ from L. malabarica ; the elytra 
have no fulvous apical margins as in that form. Thorax differently 
sculptured from that of L. hopei ; antenna) black.
