10 1 Mr. J. S. Baly on new Genera and Species of Gallerucidse. 



profunde punctato-striatis, punctis piceis, iaterstitiis apicem versus 

 convexis, limbo inflexo piceo-tessellato ; scutello rufo-piceo ; fe- 

 moribus posticis valde incrassatis. 



Var. A. Elytris rufo-piceis, flavo irroratis. 



Mas. (Edeagus vix curvatus, apice ovatu.s, apice ipso subacuminato. 



Long. 3-3^ lin. 



Hub. Port Natal. 



More ovate than P. evanida; very similar in form and size to 

 P. stolida : from the latter species it may be known by the 

 coarser and rather more distant punctures on the elytra. 



Podontia nigrotessellata. 



P. ovata, convexa, pallide picea, nitida ; thorace subremote punc- 

 tato, basi biimpresso, autice utrinque longitudiualiter sulcato ; 

 elytris sovdide fulvis, sat profunde punctato-striatis, punctis piceis, 

 interspatiis remote nigro tessellatis, ad apicem convexiusculis ; 

 femoribus posticis valde incrassatis. 



Mas. CEdeagus vix curvatus, lateribus parallelis, apice lanecolato- 

 ovato. 



Long. 2^-2| lin. 



Ilab. Port Natal. 



The much smaller size and the different coloration of the 

 elytra will without difficulty distinguish this species from its 

 congeners. 



Podontia reticulata, 



P. anguste oblonga, convexa, pallide piceo-fulva, nitida, antennis 

 extrorsum infuscatis, capite scutelloque rufo-piceis ; thorace piceo- 

 marmorato, apice utrinque longitudiualiter impresso ; elytris rlavis, 

 rufo-piceo reticularis, profunde punctato-striatis, punctis piceis, 

 limbo inflexo piceo-tessellato ; femoribus posticis valde incrassatis. 



Long. 3| lin. 



Hub. South Africa. 



Larger and more parallel than P. stolida, more convex than 

 P. evanida. I only know a single specimen of this species. 



Podontia jlava. 



P. elongata, parallela, convexa, flavo-nitida ; thorace basi biimpresso, 

 ad latera foveolato, utrinque infra medium ad apicem longitudi- 

 naliter sulcato ; elytris ante medium gibbosis, sat fortiter punctato- 

 striatis, interspatiis ad apicem convexiusculis ; femoribus posticis 

 modice incrassatis. 



Long. (> lin. 



Hob. Sarawak. 



This species may be at once known from P. lutea, Oliv., by 

 the unicolorous body and legs, as well as by the coarser punctua- 

 tion of the elytra.
