452 Mr. Baly's descriptions of 



rugose-punctate. Elytra much broader than the thorax, nar- 

 rowly oblong, their sides parallel ; upper surface faintly depressed 

 below the basilar space, coarsely rugose-punctate. Apex of anal 

 segment of abdomen obtusely truncate, edged with piceo-fulvous. 



'2. Galeruca tarsalii?, n. sp. 



Subelongata, postice vix anipliata, pallide fusca, sericea, oculis, 

 genubus, tibiis apice, tarsorumque articulis basalibus duobiis 

 nigris; thorace transverso, lateribus angulatis, disco transversim 

 excavato, crebre punctato, utrinque puncto nigro instructo ; 

 elytris crebre punctatis. Long. 4 lin. 



Hab. Sadia. 



Head strongly and coarsely punctured, antennae stained above 

 with piceous. Thorax twice as broad as long, disc transversely 

 concave, strongly and coarsely punctured, rugose on the sides. 

 Elytra closely but less coarsely punctured than the thorax. 



Genus haplosonyx, Chevr. 



In Haplosonyx proper (as distinguished from Sphenoraia, 

 Clark) the antennaj usually taper towards the apex, and the third 

 joint is always distinctly longer than the second ; the punctures 

 are as a rule arranged without order on the disc of the elytra; 

 the basilar space is always bounded beneath and on the outer 

 side by a distinct depression. 



1. Haplosonyx chalybeus, Hope; {dongatus, Baly.) 



Hab. The Plains. 



I am indebted to Mr. Janson for the determination of this 

 species, he having in this as in several other instances compared 

 my specimen with the Hopean type. 



2. Haplosonyx scutellatus, n. sp. 



Oblongus, couvexus, fulvus, nitidus, pectoris lateribus nigro- 

 piceis; scutello, antennis pedibusque nigris; thorace transverso, 

 lateribus parallelis, bisinuatis, disco transversim excavato; elytris 

 fortiter confuse punctatis. Long. 4-5 lin.
