34 Mr. J. S. Baly's descriptions of nciv 



Front tiatteaed, finely rugulose ; antennae robust, rather more 

 than half the length of the body. Thorax more than twice as broad 

 as long ; sides angulate-emarginate just behind their middle ; disk 

 broadly and irregularly excavated across the middle, closely punc- 

 tured on either side behind the anterior margin. Elytra parallel, 

 closely punctured, more or less stained with nigro-piceous, this 

 colour in some specimens extending over their whole sm-face. 



Galerucella Wallacei. 

 Elongata, convexa, sordide fulva, dense sericea, antennarum 

 articulis intermediis capitisque macula frontali nigris ; thorace 

 transverso, lateribus augulatis, disco late transversim excavato, 

 maculis tribus, transversim positis, nigris ; elytris oblongis, crebre 

 punctatis, fuscis, fusco-sericeis ; tibiis dorso tarsisque piceis. Long.

Steumatea, n. g. 



Corpus oblongum, convexum, dense sericeum. Antennae gra- 

 ciles, articulo secundo ad plus quam partem dimidiam articuli 

 primi sequilongo. Thorax transversus, dorso profunde excavatus. 

 Elytra convexa, tuberculis magnis, in seriebus longitudinalibus dis- 

 positis, instructa ; epipleuris planis, ultra clytri medium extensis. 

 Pedes minus robusti ; coxis anticis contiguis ; tibiis apice iiiermi- 

 bus; tarsis posticis articulo basali sequentibus tribus lequilongo. 

 Prosternum inter coxas occultum ; acetabulis anticis clausis. Type 

 Strutnata nodosa. 



Closely allied to Galeraca, differing from that genus in 

 tlie long iilil'orm 2nd joint of the antennae. 



Stnimatca nodosa. 



Oblonga, convexa, fusco-l'ulva, opaca, dense scricca ; capite sub- 



cuneiformi, clypco maguo, nitido, glabro ; fronte fovea magna,
