head, shorter and more robust antennae and their thickened joints, 
the position of the thoracic sulcus and the entirely flat elytral 
interstices. 
132. Lema mandarensis, Jac. Ann. Soc. Ent. Bely, xli, 1897, p. 421. 
Bluish-black ; vertex with two rufous spots. 
Head im punctate on the vertex, the latter with two more or 
less distinct rufous spots, not constricted posteriorly, lower por- 
tion of face sparingly pubescent ; antennae black, short and robust, 
not extended much beyond the base of the thorax, the terminal 
joints strongly thickened but longer than broad. Thorax sub- 
cylindrical, longer than broad, the basal sulcus distinct but not 
very deep, the disc with two rows of strong punctures, others 
placed near the anterior angles. Elytra wider at base than the 
thorax, parallel and subcylindrical, scarcely perceptibly depressed 
below the base, very deeply punctate-striate, the punctures slightly 
elongate, interstices costate at sides and apex. Underside and legs 
nearly black, with slight bluish gloss. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hob. Bengal: Mandar ; Malabar: Mahe. 
Differs from L. globicollis, Baly in the colour of the head and 
thorax, but otherwise similar in the shape of the latter. 
133. Lema funerea, sp. n. 
Bluish- black ; narrowly elongate. Head rugosely punctured, 
interstices with some short grey hairs, ocular sulci obsolete ; eyes 
sinuate but not notched ; antennae short and robust, basal joint 
round and thick, second moniliform, third and fourth trigonal, 
equal, following joints subquadrately widened. TliGrax elongate 
and subcylindrical, slightly narrowed at base, sides without con- 
striction or sulcus, surface obsoletely depressed at base in front 
of margin, the latter thickened, finely rugose, middle of disc with 
two rows of punctures, anterior angles likewise punctate. Scu- 
tellum small, ovate. Elytra narrow, parallel and cylindrical, very 
closely punctate-striate, punctures elongate, interstices feebly 
costate at sides. Underside and legs black; claws joined at base. 
Length 4| mm. 
Hob. Nilgiris ( II . L. Anclrewes). 
A very aberrant species; possibly belongs to Fairmaire’s African 
genus Sigrisma, but the thorax is entirely subcylindrical. Of 
the Indian species the present form is the narrowest and most 
elongate so far as the shape of the thorax goes.

Black, head with two fulvous spots ; elytra fulvous. 
Head black ; intraocular space highly convex, fulvous, divided by 
a groove ; antennae black, extended to middle of elytra, third and
