PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA FROM BURMAH 215 



longitudinal groove at the middle, finely rugose and pubescent; 

 scutellum broad and elongate, its apex truncate, surface rugose 

 and pubescent; elytra rather convex, closely punctured and 

 finely rugose throughout, sparingly pubescent , their epipleurse 

 continued below the middle; intermediate tibiye with a short 

 thorn, the others unarmed ; the first joint of the posterior tarsi 

 scarcely longer than the following joint ; claws bifid long and 

 slender; the anterior coxal cavities closed. 



Burmah: Bhamò, July, August. 



On account of the closed coxal cavities , the prolonged elytral 

 epipleurai and the structure of the antennae, tarsi and the long 

 claws, this species seems to enter the genus Diorhabda Weise. 

 In general appearance D. hrevicornis resembles greatly many 

 species of Galerucella.
