This insect, which I purchased from the late Mr. Drury's col- 

 lection, appears to vary both from Alurnus and Hispa, and might 

 perhaps constitute a new genus ; but as my specimen has no ap- 

 tennae, I have for the present considered it as an Alurnus.

One species of this genus has been described by Fabricius as a 

 Chrysomela (C. Globus), and another by Olivier as a Eumolpus 

 (E. globosus). It exhibits much more affinit}' to Clytra, from which 

 however it is sufficiently distinguished by its labrum, mandibulas, 

 and palpi, as well as by the globose form of its body.
