The male of this minute Ga/erucid has a certain resemblance to 
a small Jachys. It is a very pretty and distinct species. In 
some specimens the pale marks on the elytra are almost white. 
Victoria ; Alpine region. 
ADIMONIA. 
Several Australian species seem to be referable to this genus, 
with which they agree in the following characters ; front coxal 
cavities closed (their structure is as in the European 4. capree, 
Linn.); front cox contiguous or all but contiguous; metasternum 
not prominent between the middle cox ; elytral epipleurz con- 
tinued well behind the middle of the length of the elytra; tibie 
unarmed ; claws of the tarsi bifid ; lateral borders of prothorax 
well defined ; head considerably narrower than prothorax ; third 
joint of antenne distinctly longer than fourth joint ; basal joint of 
hind tarsi about equal in length to the next two joints together ; 
tibiz more or less carinate on their external margin. The species 
that I refer to this genus agree well with it in facies and also 
resemble in facies Divcema (Galeruca) australis, Bohem. In the 
last-named species the apices of the epimera of the prosternum 
undoubtedly do not meet the base of the true prosternum but 
project freely ; nevertheless I cannot satisfy myself that it is any- 
thing but an extremely close ally of these species which I refer 
to Adimonia. In Galerucella McDonaldi, Lea the front coxe are 
closed and therefore that insect ought not to stand in 
Galerucella; T think it can hardly be separated generically from 
Adimonia.

The elytra are almost uniformly pitchy black, when closely ex- 
amined a small testaceous mark is observed on either side of the 
scutellum and in some specimens a faint indefinite tendency to
