This Galeruca differs from the other Indian described species in 

 having three instead of four elytral costae, also in the colour of the 

 thorax; a female contained in my collection from India without 

 précise locality has the abdomen strongly inftated and the first 

 joint of the tarsi simple, not dilated as is the case in the maie.
