all the genera formed by Fabricius, few were more 

 carelessly constituted than those of the Chryso- 

 melidae. As I have no remarks to make on the 

 species, I pass on to Helodes, 



He lodes, Fabricius. 



Helodes is one of genera of Chrysomelidae ; and 

 under the above name, we find five species alluded to, 

 but two of them only really belong to it, namely, 

 Hel. Phellandrii and Violacea ; the third of them is a 

 Lema of Fabricius ; and the two remaining, pertain 

 to a genus which appears not to be characterized. 



Lema, Fabricius. 



In a former page, I have stated the reasons for 

 adopting the family name of Lemadae instead of 

 Crioceridae. Lema of Fabricius, is very rich in 

 species, and eventually, will be sub-divided into 

 several genera ; at present I only mention two others 

 belonging to it, namely, Megascelis and Petauristes, 

 both of them created by Latreille. It seems not 

 improbable that the insect named L. Nigricornis 

 may be a Megalopus.
