than is the case in the other insects placed in Antipha from 

 which the present species differs in its system of coloration, but 

 not in structural particulars in regard to i^encric details. 



146. Antiplin. postica, Baly, 



Meetan in Tenasserim, April 1887. 



Xapliinclla, n. gen. (Galerucinde) 



Body oblong ; antennae filiform , the third joint extremely 

 small in the male; thorax transverse, the angles distinct; elytral 

 epipleuriu continued below the middle ; tibia) unarmed, the first 

 joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the three following joints 

 together; claws appendiculate ; anterior coxal cavities closed; 

 presternum very narrow but distinct. 



Mas. The second and third joints of the antennx' very small, 

 the third joint smaller than the second one, the following six 

 joints triangularly widened. 



Fern. The third joint of the antennae longer than the second 

 one, the others filiform. 



This genus , which , on account of the closed coxal cavities , 

 the unarmed tibiae, appendiculate claws and prolonged elytral 

 epipleura), will enter the group of Plalyxanthince seems very 

 closely allied to Taphina Duviv. (Bull. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1885) 

 from which it only differs in the structure of the antennae in 

 the male in which the third joint is almost obsolete, while in 

 Taphina it is much longer than the second joint. The interme- 

 diate joints in that genus are simple and not widened. 



147. Xapliiuclla, uig-i-ipciiiiis, n. sp. 



Fulvous ; antenna? (the first joint excepted) black ; thorax 

 smooth , remotely and finely punctured ; elytra black , closely 

 and distinctly semipunctate-striate. 



Length 2 lines.
