CRIOCERIS. 
71 
culiform when seen from above with a single seta on each, surface 
entirely impunctate. Elytra deeply foveolate below the base, 
the basal portion convex ; the surface rather deeply punctured, 
the punctures not very closely placed diminish in size towards the 
apex, the interstices finely transversely wrinkled ; longitudinally 
costate near the apex ; just above the shoulders is placed a small 
fulvous spot. Legs black, the inner side of all the femora fulvous. 
In a variety the entire elytral margin and apex are of that colour, 
the femora beneath testaceous. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hab. Ceylon. 
The strongly swollen anterior portion of the thorax and colouj 
of the antennae are sufficient to separate this species. 
137. Lema macei, Lacord. Mon. Phytoph. i, 1845, p. 387. 
Bufous ; a black spot near anterior angles of thorax ; elytia 
black, apex narrowly flavous. 
Bather short, parallel-sided and only slightly convex. Head 
impunctate, ocular sulci very deep, eyes deeply notched. Thorax 
slightly longer than broad, impunctate, basal sulcus rather deep. 
Elytra moderately strongly punctured, interstices strongly costate 
at posterior third. Legs slender, rather short. 
Length 6| mm. 
Hob. Bengal. 
Lacordaire’s type in the Paris Museum was minus the antennae. 
The following two species have been omitted : — 
Lema bicolor, Fair. Syst. Fleuth. i, p. 476. 
The description of Eabricius does not admit of a recognition of 
this species. 
Lema solani, Weber, Obs. Fnt. p. 58 (1801). 
Lema weberi, Mar. Coleopt. Mefte, xiii, p. 185 (1875). 
Weber gives India as the “ habitat ” of this species ; his descrip- 
tion, however, agrees entirely with L. solani , .Fab., which is a 
IN’. American species.

The principal differences between this genus and Lema are the 
free or separated not joined claws, and the generally shorter and 
more robust antennae. As a rule the thoracic basal sulcus is also
