posterior tarsi nearly as long as the following joints together, claws hitid, the 

 anterior eoxal cavities open. 



Hah. Amlioina. 



The colour of the antennae, scarcely impressed tiiorax, and the short elytra costae 

 distinguish well this species. 



Galerucella wallacei Haly. 

 Testaceous, eh-tra fuscous, finely sericeous, mandibulae robust, the head with one, 

 the thorax with three fuscous spots, elytra clothed with greyish |>ubescence, finely 

 coriaceous. 



Letigth 4^ to 5 lines. 



Of broad, robust, and rather convex shajie, the head broad, minutely punctured at 

 the vertex, the latter with a round fuscous spot, frontal tubercles distinct, transversely 

 oblique, clypeus triangularly raised, mandibles robust, the apex angulate, labruui 

 transverse with a row of punctures, antennae extending a little below the middle of 

 the elytra, fuscous, the basal three joints testaceous, third joint slightly longer than 

 the fourth, the apical three joints thinner than the intermediate ones; thorax twice 

 and a half broader than long, the sides angulate at the middle, the angles obtuse, the 

 surface finely pubescent, witli a transverse broad but rather shallow dejiression 

 extending across the entire disc, testaceous without perceptible pubescence, the sides

Hah. Humboldt Bay (New ( i ninea). 



The size, robust mandibles, and the absence of any visible punctuation disi inguisbes 

 this species ; in some specimens the labrum and the a|)ex of the mandiblo aic black. 

 I have given here a more detailed description of this species than the author, for its 

 better recognition. 



Galerucella marginipennis >p. nov. 



Obscure testaceous, fiuelv pubescent, the antennae (the basal joints excepted) and 

 two spots on the thorax, black ; elytra obscure fulvous, the li!\se and a lateral stripe,

Length 3 to 3i lines. 



Of rather convex, l)road and posteriorly slightly widened shape, the head testaceous,^

 the tibiae and the tarsi black. 



Hah. llalmaheira. 



Although closely allied to several other species, the present one may be principally 

 distinguisheil by the coloration of the thorax, the latter segment having only two
