GALERUCELLA FUNESTA. 237 



its entirely black colour and the narrow whitish pubescent 

 stripes of the elytra, has most of the structural characters 

 of Galerucella , but differs principally in the shape of the 

 thorax and its discoidal depressions; the posterior angles 

 are indicated by a small but very distinct tubercle placed 

 below the middle; from there to the posterior margin the 

 sides are obliquely cut.

 and the legs , testaceous ; above metallic green ; head and
