lOli MR. M. JACOBY ON THE [Feb. 1, 



thorax rugose-punctate, the former with one, the latter with three 

 black spots ; elytra pale fulvous, finely pubescent, a narrow sutural 

 and a broad lateral stripe bright green. 



Length 3-3^ hues. 



Head closely rugose-punctate, testaceous, with a large triangular 

 black spot at the vertex. Antennae slender, filiform, two thirds the 

 length of the body, black or fuscous at the terminal joints, the basal 

 ones, varying in numbers, fulvous ; third joint longer than the 

 fourth. Thorax more than twice as broad as long, the sides strongly 

 rounded at the middle, tlie anterior angles produced into an acute 

 point ; surface transversely and strongly depressed, more strongly 

 rugose-punctate than the head, testaceous, with a large black spot 

 at each side, and another one, mesially constricted, at the middle. 

 Scutellum testaceous, broad, its apex truncate. Elytra slightly 

 widened behind, closely covered with fine silky whitish pubescence ; 

 a very narrow sutural stripe, not quite extending to the apices, and 

 another very broad one, commencing at the scutellum and extending 

 to the apical margin of each elytron, bright green, the rest of the 

 surface as well as the extreme lateral margin testaceous. Legs of 

 the same colour, the upperside of the femora and that of the tibiae 

 more or less distinctly marked with a pieeous stripe, sometimes the 

 legs are entirely of that colour. Claws bifid. 



Kitukgalle. 



Galerucella lateralis, sp. nov. 



Ovate, slightly widened posteriorly, testaceous ; antennae, a spot 

 at the vertex and three at the thorax, fuscous ; elytra closely punc- 

 tured and pubescent, obscure greenish, the lateral margins narrowly 

 testaceous. 



Length 2|-3 lines. 



Head finely rugose, pale brownish or testaceous, a triangular spot 

 at the vertex and the central narrow groove fuscous ; the anterior 

 margin of the clypeus thickened. Antennae nearly as long as the 

 body, the third joint very long and slender, all the others shorter 

 but equally slender, the second joint very short. Thorax more than 

 three times as broad as long, the sides narrowed towards the apex, 

 slightly sinuate, the anterior angles produced into a very small 

 tooth, the posterior ones oblique and sinuate at each side ; the disk 

 with a transverse depression at the sides and a longitudinal impressed 

 central line, sculptured like the head and sparingly clothed with 

 very short pubescence ; a spot at each side, and another near the 

 anterior margin at the middle, fuscous. Scutellum fuscous. Elytra 

 rather convex, much more distinctly and closely covered with white 

 hairs, extremely finely and closely rugose-punctate, obscure dark 

 greenish, opaque, the lateral margins obscure pale testaceous. The 

 sides of the breast, the femora above, and the outside of the tibiae 

 pieeous. The first joint of the posterior tarsi scarcely longer than 

 the following one; claws bifid; anterior coxal cavities open.

Li one specimen the thorax is almost entirely fuscous, owing
