reddish on the disc. On the prothorax there is a large black spot 
at each angle and a still larger one occupying the disc but not 
quite reaching the base or front margin. The sulcus of the 
prothorax is of curved shape and is on the front half of the sur- 
face ; the surface of the prothorax (the sulcus excepted) is even 
and the hind angles are rounded, This species, to a casual glance 
bears much resemblance to a very dark specimen of D. (Galeruca) 
australis, Bohem. Besides the distinctions involved in the above 
remarks it differs from D. australis by its longer and less robust 
antennie, its closely punctulate head and prothorax, its closed 
front coxe, &. From D. MeDonaldi, Lea (which has closed 
front coxe and ought I think to be placed in Adimonia) it differs 
widely by its color, much larger size, much longer and less robust 
antenng, more transverse prothorax of which the hind angles are 
rounded, &c., &c.

A. Mastersi, sp. nov. Sat elongata; minus nitida; subtiliter 
pubescens ; supra testaceo-brunnea; subtus, cum antennis 
pedibusque piceo-nigra ; antennis modice robustis, quam cor- 
poris dimidium subbrevioribus, articulo 3° quam 4° sat 
longiori; capite inter antennas bituberculato, crebre nec 
grosse punctulato; prothorace quam longiori vix duplo

impresso, et antice spatio triangulari leviter elevato—hoc 
in medio concavo—instructo), crebre (in spatio elevato 
triangulari sparsim) punctulato, angulis anticis dentiformibus, 
lateribus mox ante basin ut dens parva productis; elytris 
sat erebre sat fortiter punctulatis, lineis nonnullis elevatis 
vix manifestis instructis. Long., 23 1.3 lat., 14.1. 
A very distinct little species ; from its general facies and the 
form of its prothorax it should stand I think near A. (Galerucella) 
MeDonaldi, Lea. It bears considerable general resemblance to 
the European 4. capree, Linn., but inter alia its prothorax is 
much smaller in proportion to the elytra.
