with the African genus Hegalognatha but differs in the filiform 
antennæ and the long metatarsus of the posterior legs; the 
subquadrate posteriorly narrowed thorax is one of the characte- 
ristic points, peculiar to the genus. 
Kanarella unicolor n. sp. 
Testaceous, thorax subquadrate, impunctate, elytra broader than 
the thorax at the base, impunctate, antennæ nearly as long as the 
body. 
Length 1 5/:-2 lines. 
Head impunctate, the frontal tubercles rather broad, transverse, 
clypeus in shape of a triangular acutely raised ridge, antennæ 
extending below the middle of the elytra in the male, testaceous, 
the basal joint rather short and robust, the second and third very 
short, equal, the fourth joint as long as the preceding joints together 
and longer than the fifth joint, thorax scarcely broader than long, 
narrowed at the base, the lateral margins very slightly rounded 
before the middle, the anterior angles slightly oblique, not produ- 
ced, anterior and posterior margins straight, the surface impunc- 
tate, scutellum broad, triangular, elytra much broader at the base 
than the thorax, slightly widened posteriorly, the shoulders rather 
prominent, the surface with some very minute and distantly placed 
punctures, only seen under a strong lens ; the male organ long and 
slender, of equal width at the apex, the latter obliquely pointed. 
ab, Kanara, also Assam (my collection). 
MADURASIA n. gen. 
Shape and general appearance that of a small species of Zuperus, 
antennæ filiform, all the joints with the exception of the first, of 
nearly equal length, thorax subquadrate, posterior angles obsolete, 
elytral epipleuræ very broad anteriorly, very narrow below the 
middle, posterior tibiæ with spine, the first joint of the posterior 
tarsi longer than the following*joints, elaws simple, anterior coxal 
cavities open. 
Amongst the few genera of Galerucinæ having simple claws, the 
present one is closely allied to Medythia Jac. from Sumatra but 
differs in the shape of the thorax which is quite that of a species 
Of Luperus, in Medythia this part is more elongate and strongly 
narrowed at the base, the general shape of the insect is also more 
convex and ovate and the elytral epipleuræ are differently con- 
structed, |
