Mr. J. S. Baly on the Phytophaga. 195 



Antennae nearly equal to the body in length, moderately robust, 

 filiform, four basal joints shining, the rest opake, second, third, and 

 fourth joints short, gradually increasing in length ; thorax subconic, 

 subcylindrical, sides constricted, the constriction being scarcely visible 

 from above, surface smooth and shining, remotely punctured, the punc- 

 tures on the sides confused, those on the middle of the disk arranged 

 in two or three longitudinal rows, base impressed with a deep fovea; 

 scutellum elongate-trigonate, truncate ; elytra much broader than the 

 thorax, lateral margin slightly produced at the shoulder, concave below 

 the latter, above convex, slightly flattened on the back, each elytron 

 with ten regular rows of punctures, fulvous, the apical half of the 

 outer limb broadly edged with piceous, beneath shining piceous ; abdo- 

 men edged with obscure fulvous ; hinder thighs shorter than the 

 abdomen, moderately incrassate; metasterniun more swollen than in 

 the preceding species. 



I owe the specimen from which the above description is taken to 

 the kindness of M. Javet, after whom I have named the species. 



Genus Ckioceris, Fab. 

 Crioceris Sallei. 



C. elongata, subcylindrica, viridi-metallica, subnitida, subtus nitida, pilis 

 adpressis tenuibus obsita, senco vix micans; antennis (basi excepta) 

 nigris; thorace nitido, longitudine latitudini fere aequali, cylindvico, 

 lateribus medio sat constrictis, fortiter transversim sulcato-strigoso, 

 basi fovea parva impresso ; elytris crebre fortiter subrugoso-pimctatis, 

 utrisque intra marginem unicarinatis, disco exteriore prope medium 

 fovea magna ovato-rotundata impressis. — Long. 4-4J lin. 



Hah. Oaxaca. Collected by M. Salle". 



Antennae four-fifths of the length of the body, slender, filiform, 

 slightly increasing in thickness towards their apex, third and fourth 

 joints short, equal, obconic, four basal joints shining metallic green, 

 the rest black, opake ; elytra parallel, much broader than the thorax, 

 indistinctly impressed transversely below the basilar space (in their 

 punctation they differ entirely from any of the similarly coloured known 

 species, their surface somewhat resembling shagreen) ; legs slender, 

 subelongate, thighs very slightly incrassate, the hinder pair scarcely 

 reaching to the extremity of the elytra in the male, much shorter in 

 the other sex. 



Fam. Eumolpidae. 



Genus Tkichochrysea. 



Corpm oblongum, valde convexum, supra pube suberecta vestitum. Caput 

 latum, thorace fere immersum ; faciei margine inferiore valde emargi- 

 nato, utrinque in dentem brevem robustum producto ; epistomu parva.
