PART. II. — CRYSOMELINÆ, HALTICINÆ AND GALERUCINÆ. 
CHRYSOMELINÆ. 
Chrysomela bella Jac. (C. cærulans? Scrib.) 
Maetallic green varied with cupreous, antennæ blackish, thorax 
closely punctured, the sides variolose-punctate, cupreous as well 
as two central patches, elytra finely and semi-regularly punctate, 
the interstices partly aciculate, cupreous, the suture and a lateral 
longitudinal band purplish. 
Length 2 1/2-3 lines. 
Similar in shape to ©. graminis or C. fastuosa of Europe and 
of the same system of coloration as several Alpine species of Orina 
but belonging I think to Crysomela proper on account of the 
long first abdominal segment and other particulars, the head 
remotely but deeply punctured as well as the clypeus, cupreous, 
the vertex, a narrow central ridge and the space round the eyes 
shading into metallic green, labrum of the latter colour, apex of 
mandibles fulvous, antennæ comparatively long, extending beyond 
the base of the elytra, the lower five joints metallic green, the 
rest black, pubescent, third joint elongate, fourth and fifth equal, 
the following joints robust and thickened, but longer than broad, 
palpi robust, the third and fourth joint equal in lenght, thorax 
more than twice as broad as long, the sides very evenly and 
gradually rounded towards the apex, thickened, the thick portion 
preceded by large, deep and confluent punctures, the rest of the 
surface rather closely and finely but distinctly punctured, the basal 
margin especially crowded with punctures, the lateral margins 
and two longitudinal bands at the sides, cupreous, the intervening 
spaces, metallic green, scutellum broader than long, violaceous or 
purplish, elytra parallel, the apex rounded, the surface with 
rather regular rows of fine but distinct punctures, the rows separa- 
ted at even intervalls, the interstices more or less aciculate, the 
suture narrowly as Well as a more or less distinct broader longi- 
tudinal band at the sides, purplish, the rest of the dise cupreous,
