the surface rather convex, impunctate, scutellum broad, elytra 
wider at the base than the thorax, convex, closely and finely but 
distinctly punctured, underside and legs fulvous, tibiæ unarmed, 
the first joint of the posterior tarsi, longer than the following 
joints together, claws appendiculate, the anterior coxal cavities 
open. 
Hab. Kanara, S. Bombay. 
Closely allied to Z. fulvipennis Jac. from China, of the same 
shape and colour, but the antennæ fulvous as well as the legs, the 
apical joint of the former black only, the thorax more transverse 
and shorter. 
Galeruca himalayensis n. sp. 
Black, apterous, thorax much narrowed at the base, rugose- 
punctate, the middle smooth, deeply depressed in the female, 
elytra without costæ, closely rugose, the interstices raised in 
short striæ. 
Length 3-4 lines. 
G. Head strongly rugose, the vertex with a deep, smooth 
triangular depression at the middle, frontal elevations strongly 
raised, smooth, fulvous, antennæ robust, the third and fourth 
joints, equal, the second one half shorter, the terminal four joints 
wanting, thorax rather more than twice as broad as long, the 
sides much narrowed at the base, rounded and produced before 
the middle, the posterior margin strongly concave in front of the 
scutellum; the disc with a deep lateral fovea and a small depres- 
sion at the middle, the latter nearly impunctate, the sides strongly 
rugosely punctate, scutellum twice as broad as long, elytra rather 
flattened, widened posteriorly, with a narrow, raised margin 
extending to the hase and to the scutellum, the whole surface 
closely rugosely punctured, with rows of short, longitudinal 
striæ, irregularly placed, the interspaces also transversely wrin- 
kled or rugose, intermediate tibiæ with a spine, the others unar- 
med, the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the following 
two joints together, claws bifid, anterior coxal cavities closed. 
Hab. Dalhousie, Himalayas. 
This species seems allied to G. monticola Kiesenw. which islike- 
wise apterous and agrees with it in several other details ; but has 
pubescent antennæ and a differently sculptured head and thorax, 
I am however not azquainted with the species which is not likely 
10 be identical with the present insect, since G. monticola inha- 
bits the Pyrenaes; there is a good deal of difference to be seen in 
the sculpturing of the thorax between the two sexes, the female 
having the disc almost entirely and deeply depressed by à smooth
