MB. J. S. BALY ON SOME GENERA 
12. Aulacophoba Olivieri, 
Galeruca analis, Oliv. Ent. vi. 
Qblongo-ovata, convexa, flava, nitida, labro, antennis (basi exceptis), 
mesosterno, abdominis apice, tibiis tarsisque nigro-piceis ant nigris ; 
thorace qnam longo fere dnplo latiore, transversim sulcato, sulco 
medio minus fortiter impresso; elytris tenuiter punetatis, utrisque 
plaga magna basali, ad suturam abbreviata, altera pone medium, ad 
marginem plerumque adfixa, apiceque nigris. Long. 3-3f lin. 
Mas. Antennarum artieulis tertio, quarto quintoque incrassatis ; abdo- 
minis segmento anali trilobato, lobo intermedio longitudinaliter 
sulcato. 
Fem. Antennis filiformibus ; abdominis segmento anali apice ro- 
tundato. 
Hob. Australia, Hunter’s Biver, Bockhampton, Paroo Biver. 
Front impressed immediately above tlie encarpse with a small 
fovea ; antennae robust, the third, fourth, and fifth joints in the 
6 thickened, the third nearly twice as long as broad, obconic, the 
lourth and fifth each shorter than the third, laterally dilated, tri- 
gonate ; antennae in the $ simple, filiform ; the five lower 
joints in the S , the three or four basal ones in the $ , flavous or 
fulvous, more or less stained with piceous, the remaining joints 
in each sex nigro-piceous or black. Thorax nearly twice as 
broad as long ; sides slightly diverging and slightly sinuate from 
the base to just beyond the middle, thence rounded and con- 
verging to the apex ; upper surface remotely and minutely punc- 
tured, transversely sulcate immediately behind the middle, the 
sulcation rather less deeply impressed on the middle disk. 
Elytra oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, convex, minutely 
punctured, the basilar space obsoletely thickened. Tibiae and 
tarsi black, the basal portion of the former sometimes flavous. 
This species usually stands in collections as A. analis, AVeber; 
it is very constant in pattern and coloration, and differs from the 
author’s description of analis in the dark antennae, in the black 
apices of the elytra, and in the similarly coloured mesosternum. 
Its locality is also entirely different, all the specimens that I have 
seen having been brought from Australia ; whereas Weber gives 
Sumatra as the habitat of his insect. 
13. Aulacophora occipitalis. Subelongata, postiee paullo am- 
pliata, convexa, flava, nitida, oeulis, verticis plagis duabus, pectore 
abdoiaineque nigris ; thorace prope medium transversim sulcato;
