DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES 



OF 



PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 



OBTAINED BY 1).'* LORIA IN NeW GuiNEA 



BY 



MARTIN JACOBY 



These descriptions are based on a collection submitted to me 

 by DJ Gestro, obtained by D.^' Loria in South Eastern and 

 Southern New Guinea and contain many novelties, besides spe- 

 cies previously known. The types and cotypes are contained in 

 the Genoa civic Museum and in my own collection, from the 

 latter I have added a few species which have not been pre- 

 viously known. The localities given are those which are to be 

 found on the maps published by the British New Guinea go- 

 vernment.
