arrangement of the Chrysomeloidea, namely, the 

 Gallerucidae, Halticidae, Chrysomelidae, Lemidae, 

 Colaspidae, Eumolpidae, Clythridee, and Chlamydae ; 

 and to these Mr. Kirby adds the Cryptocephalidae. 



Fabrician Species of Galleruca. 



Sp. 26. Abdominalis. — In the Banksian cabinet 

 there are two distinct insects labelled Abdominalis ; 

 the first is a true Lema, and the second is an 

 elongated species of Galleruca. 



Sp. 28. Compressicornis. — This insect is the 

 type of a new genus. The Fabrician description 

 of this species, with some additions, would afford 

 ample generic characters. 



Sp. 46. Caprete. — In the Systema Naturae this 

 insect is named Cupraea, evidently an error of the 

 press. 



Sp. 50. Lactucae. — Fabricius says of this insect, 

 " Species obscura, haud mihi rite nota." I suspect 

 it to be a Diaperis. 



Sp. 85. Collaris. — Now an Orchestris of Kirby. 

 The characters of the genus are detailed in the 

 Fauna Boreali Americana. 



Cyphon, Fabricius. 



The genus Cyphon is by many Entomologists 

 classed with the Malacodermata, and so is Scirtes ; 

 and although the latter has saltatorial legs, it has 

 been removed from the Halticidse : in habits it 

 certainly approaches the latter family.
