This insect, which I purchased from the late Mr. Drury's col- 
lection, appears to vary both from Alurnus and Hispa, and might | 
perhaps constitute a new genus; but as my specimen has no an- 
tennee, I have for the present considered it as an Alurnus.

One species of this genus has been described by Fabricius as a 
Chrysomela (C. Globus), and another by Olivier as a Eumolpus 
(E. globosus). Itexhibits much more affinity to Clytra, from which 
however it is sufficiently distinguished by its labrum, mandibulæ, 
and palpi, as well as by the globose form of its body.
