54 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OP 



(1. c. p. 333) seems to me to be a variety with the thorax more 

 finclj' puuctate. 



GALEKUCIDES. 



Tribe Galerucini. 



The species of this subfamilj- have been carefully worked out 

 by Dr. Leconte in the Proceedings of the Academy for 18G5. 

 Since then, much Californian and other material has accumulated, 

 and I find it necessary to add a few species .and rearrange some 

 of the preceding Ones. 



The only additions since Leconte's paper are Luperus lideicoUis, 

 L. varicornis, Phyllechthrus nigripeniiis, Diahrolica blandula, 

 D. virgifera^ described by Dr. Leconte in the Transactions of 

 the American Entomological Society for 1868, and Andreclor 

 (g. n.) Q-punctatus, by Dr. Horn, in 1872. Malacosoma, the two 

 species referred by Dr. Leconte to this genus, appear to me to 

 belong to the Halticini. 



Phyllecthrus dorsalis (Oliv ). 



I cannot separate specifically P. atripennis (Say), which differs 

 only in color. 



Phyllecthrus gentilis, Lee. 



F. nigripennis also dift'ers only in color ; I do not see that these 

 color variations, however constant, are indicative of more than 

 races ; and we are not 3'et in a position to say much of their con- 

 stancy even. 



Luperus brunneus (Zimm. MSS.), sp. n. 



This species has the third joint of tlic antcnnaj quite short, as 

 in P.moridus\ but is mucli larger than that species and of a 

 shining brown color, less pale; antennai long, thorax broader 

 than long, with the elytra very finely and sparingly punctulate ; 

 upper side convex, rather ventricose. L. .10. North Carolina 

 (Zimmerman). 



Luperus morulus, Lee. 



The length of this species is printed .4, in error for .14. 



Luperus rufipes, Lee. 



This name has been in use in Europe since 1787 ; I have there- 

 fore changed it to L. Lecontii.
