Madurasia obscurella n. sp. 
Obscure testaceous, antennæ (the basal joints excepted) black, 
thorax extremely minutely punctured, elytra more distinctly but 
finely punctured with a very obscure longitudinal fuscous band 
near the suture. 
Length 3/:-1 line. 
Head impunctate at the vertex, the frontal tubercles distinct 
and rather elongate, lower portion of face finely pubescent, 
antennæ extending to the middle of the elytra, black or fuscous, 
the basal joints more or less testaceous, the second joint but 
slightly shorter than the third and following joints, the first joint 
the longest, thorax about one half broader than long, the sides 
nearly straight, the posterior margin rounded, anterior angles 
slightly obliquely thickened, furnished with a single seta, placed 
below the angle, posterior angles nearly obsolete, the surface 
very minutely punctured, testaceous, shining, the base with a 
small fovea near the posterior angles (sometimes absent), scutel- 
lum broader than long, elytra very finely and closely and more 
distinctly punctured than the thorax, the apex of each separately 
rounded, their epipleuræ broad at the base, indistinct below the 
middle, the surface very closely and finely punctured, pale 
testaceous, with an obscure, sometimes nearly obsolete, longitu- 
dinal fuscous band near the suture, which is slightly narrowed 
near the apical portion, legs long and slender, the posterior tibiæ 
mucronate, the metatarsus of the posterior legs longer than the 
following joints together, claws simple. 
Hab. Madura, Maüras Presidency. 
CNEORIDES n. gen. 
Body elongate, smooth, antennæ with the intermediate joints 
triangularly widened, thorax subquadrate, the sides subangulate 
before the middle, elytra closely punctured, with traces of pubes- 
cence, their epipleuræ continued to the apex, legs robust, the 
tibiæ mucronate, the metatarsus of the posterior legs not longer 
than the second joint, claws appendiculate, anterior coxal cavities 
open. 
The general appearance of this insect, of which I possess à 
single apparently male specimen is somewhat that of a species of 
Cneorane but the antennæ are unlike any other of the numerous 
genera of Galerucinæ on account of the triangularly widened 
intermediate joints, this and the subquatrate non-impressed 
thorax, the mucronate tibiæ and structure of the tarsi, will assist 
in the recognition of the genus which would perhaps best find 
its place near Vadrana Baly.
