NEW PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 47 



mucronate their apices dilated and sliglitly curved ; anterior coxal 

 cavities open. 



Sumatra, Mt. Singalang , July (0. Beccari). 



The insect here described forms the second species of Baly's 

 genus Simaethea (placed by Chapuis in the Galerucinae under 

 the name Alimela). In the structural characters and general 

 shape the species agrees entirely with the typical form from 

 which the totally different colouration and the much more stron- 

 gly punctured elytra sufficiently distinguish it. 



3G. Eiiiieamera, celelbeiisis, n. sp. 



Broadly ovate , moderately convex , bluish black ; antennae , 

 the four anterior tibiae and the tarsi , testaceous. 



Length 1 Yg line. 



Head impunctate ; the 5 apical joints of the antennae broadly 

 dilated; thorax and elytra obsoletely and finely punctured and 

 slightly rugulose. 



Celebes, Kandari, March (0. Beccari). 



This species differs from E. sumatrensis Harold, to which it 

 seems closely alhed, by the colour of the antennae and that of 

 the tibiae and tarsi ; the former have in some specimens the apical 

 joints fuscous; the smaller size will further help to distinguish 

 the species from those nearly similarly coloured. 



37. Eiineamera laevipemiis , n. sp. 



Bluish black; the 3 basal joints of the antennae testaceous; 

 head, thorax and elytra entirely impunctate. 



Length 2 lines. 



Aru Island , Wokan (0. Beccari). 



I must separate this species, of which but a single specimen 

 is before me, from E. sumalrensis on account of the entirely 

 impunctate upper surface, no trace of punctures being visible 

 even under a strong lens.
