| NEW PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA TT 
of the posterior tarsi as long as the two following joints to- 
gether ; claws bifid; anterior coxal cavities closed. 
The species for which I am obliged to propose the present 
genus, will enter the 19." group of Chapuis’ arrangement, the 
Galerucinae, on account of the closed coxal cavities, the bifid 
claws and elytral epipleurae continued below the middle. The 
genus is distinguished by the impubescent upper surface , ’ 
the long filiform antennae and the transverse, not impressed 
thorax ; from Taphina Duvivier the genus may be separated by 
the bifid claws.
