MR. J. S. BALT ON SOME SPECIES OF GALERUCINiE. 
Hal. Type, Sumatra, Java ; var. A, Celebes, Grilolo, Flores ; 
var. B, C, and D, Java; var. E, Java, Philippines, Lombock; 
var. F, Ceylon ; var. Gr, Celebes. 
The above species is very nearly allied to A. coffees , Hornst., 
agreeing closely in form and structural characters. The head in 
the male of the present insect is narrow and the eyes are larger and 
more prominent, and the apical surface of the intermediate lobe 
of the anal segment of the abdomen is slightly concave instead 
of plane. A. licolor, however, although extremely variable iu 
coloration, always has the lower edge of the c-lypeus and the 
entire labrum concolorous with the upper face ; in A. coffees , on 
the contrary, these parts are nigro-piceous or black. 
29. Atjlacophora nigritestis, Boiscl. Voy. del' Astrol. p. 518. 
Subelongata, postice paullo ampliata, convexa, fulva, nitida; tibiis apice, 
tarsis antennarumque articulis intermediis piceis ; abdorr.ine elytrisque 
nigris, bis aeneo tinctis ; thorace lateribus a basi fere ad apicem 
rectis, disco sat fortiter transversim sulcato, sulco utrinque magis 
distincte impresso. Long. 3f lin. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio alteris lon- 
giore, transverso-quadrato, piano, apice truncato. 
Hal. Fiji Islands, a single specimen. 
Antennae nearly equal to the body in length, slender, filiform. 
Thorax nearly twice as broad as long ; sides straight and parallel, 
obliquely converging near the apex. Elytra narrowly oblong, 
slightly dilated posteriorly, convex, distinctly punctured. Ex- 
treme apex of the abdomen piceous. 
30. Aulacophora Downesi. Ovata, postice ampliata, nigra, nitida, 
capite, thorace, scutello pedibusque flavis ; thorace lateribus ante 
medium obtuse angulatis, disco modice transversim sulcato; elytris 
tenuiter punctatis, plaga magna basali, trigonata, communi, flava. 
Long. 2f-3 lin. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio late oblongo- 
quadrato, piano. 
Fcem. Abdominis segmento anali apice sinuato. 
Hal. India, Bombay {Dr. Ezra Downes). 
Antennae filiform. Thorax about one half broader than long ; 
sides obtusely angulate before the middle, nearly straight pos- 
teriorly ; upper surface transversely sulcate, the sulcation less 
deeply impressed than in most other species of the genus. 
Elytra dilated posteriorly, moderately convex, very finely punc- 
tured.
