verse, labrum fulvous, apex of the mandibles black, antennæ 
not extending to the middle of the clytra, robust, pale fulvous, the 
third and fourth joint sequal, following joints slightly shorter ; 
thorax more than twice as broad as long, not widened at the 
middle, the sides deflexed, the lateral margin nearly straight, the

Phyllobroticella nov. gen. 
Elongate, parallel, palpi robust, antennæ filiform (deformed in 
the male)thorax transverse, with a transverse suleus, elytra without 
epipleuræ except at the extreme base ; all the tibiæ mucronate, the 
first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the following three joints 
together; claws appendiculate; the anterior coxal cavities open. 
I am obliged to propose thisgenus for an insect having thegeneral 
shapeand appearance of a small species of Aulacophora but differing 
from that and any allied genus in the entire absence of the elytral 
epipleuræ which even at the base are scarcely perceptible ; the spine 
at the apex of ll the tibiæ separates the genus from Phyllobrotica 
as well as the different shape and form of the thoracic sulcus. 
Phyllobroticella flava n. sp. 
Entirely flavous, the apical joints of the antennæ fuscous; thorax 
with a few fine punctures anteriorly, elytra finely and closely 
punctured. 
G. The third joint of the antennæ triangularly widened and 
deeply emarginate; thorax with a short sulcus before the middle 
and another in front of the scutellum; the base of the elytra deeply 
exeavated; the last abGominal segment trilobate, the median lobe 
much broader than long. 
Q@. Antennæ simple, the thorax with a single sulcus, the elytra 
without excavation.

&. Head impunctate, flavous, the frontal elevations narrowly 
transverse, clypeus triangularly raised, penultimate joint of the

middle of the elytra, flavous, the upper joints from the fifth,
