LIST AND DESCRIPTIONS 



OF THE PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 



OBTAINED BY , DR. MODIGLIANI FROM MENTA WEI ISLANDS 



BY MARTIN JACOBY 



The following is the list and the descriptions of the Phyto- 

 phagous Coleoptera obtained by Dr, Modigliani from the islands 

 Mentawei to the south of Sumatra and kindly submitted to me 

 for examination by Dr. Gestro, many species of which are iden- 

 tical with those from the latter locality ; those which seem to 

 be new 7 belong for the greater part to the Galerucinae and 

 Haltieinae and are probably peculiar to Mentawei. I know of 

 no previously described insects from these islands.
