Mr. J. S. Baly on new Genera and Species of Gallerucidse. 249 



fere sequali, tibiae apici inserto ; unguiculis appendiculatig. Fro- 

 sternum angustum. 



Type, Xuthea orient alls. 



This genus resembles Diplaulaca in the form of its thorax, 

 Crepidodera in the form and punctuation of its elytra; from the 

 latter it is separated by all the tibiae having a short spine at 

 their apex, from the former by the entirely different shape and 

 punctuation of the elytra. 



Xuthea orientalis. 



X. elongato-ovata, convexa, supra viridi-cyanca, nitida, subtus ob- 

 scure viridi- aut piceo-senea ; coxis, tibiis tarsisque piceis, plus 

 minusve a;neo tinctis ; thorace fortiter subremote punctate ; 

 elytris nitidis c? j minute granulosis, subnitidis $ , regulariter punc- 

 tato-striatis ; antcnnis fulvis, extrorsum piceis. 

 Long. 3-3| lin. 

 Hab. India. 



Head exserted, face triangular ; mouth pale piceous ; space 

 between the eyes rugose ; carina moderately elevated, not very 

 broad ; encarpaj ill defined, remote ; face separated from the 

 front by a deep flexuose groove which runs obliquely upwards 

 on either side from the apex of the carina ; vertex obsoletely 

 wrinkled in front, very remotely impressed with large punc- 

 tures ; whole face clothed with coarse, depressed, whitish hairs. 

 Thorax one-half as broad as long ; sides straight and parallel, 

 slightly converging and sinuate in front ; surface nitidous, 

 strongly but subremotely punctured, all the angles slightly pro- 

 duced, acute, the anterior somewhat reflexed. Elytra smooth 

 and nitidous in the 6 , subnitidous and very minutely granulose 

 in the $ , regularly punctate-striate, interspaces plane ; basilar 

 space in each elytron bounded by a semicircular depression. 

 Body beneath clothed with coarse, adpressed, whitish hairs. 

 Basal joints of all the tarsi in the 6 dilated, the middle elevated 

 into a longitudinal ridge. 



Subfam. GALLERUCINiE. 



Genus Cynorta. 

 Corpus elongatum, angustum, parallelum. Caput exsertum ; 

 facie subelongata, plana, subporrecta, inter antennarum insertiones 

 elevata ; mandibulis satrobustis, antrorsum productis ; antennis^vsici- 

 libus, filiformibus, corporis longitudini fere sequalibus, articulo prime 

 elongate, pauUo curvate, a basi ad apicem incrassato, secunde bre- 

 vissime, obovato, cseteris fere sequalibus, singulis prime brevioribus, 

 quarto tertio pauUe longiore ; palpis maxillaribus apice evatis ; 

 oculis preminentibus. Thorax transverse- quadratus, lateribus an- 

 guste marginatis, fere parallelis ; disco medice convexe, profunde
