ANALYTICAL TABLE. 



1. Anterior coxal cavities closed behind . . 2. 

 Anterior coxal cavities open behind . . 3. 



2. Tibia longer than tarsus ; extreme apex of 



tibia rounded, emarginate on each side ; 

 inner lateral edge without serration except 

 towards apex, outer lateral edge serrate ; 

 process a slightly curved rod with blunt 

 apex, much shorter than first tarsal seg- 

 ment ; claws strongly appendiculate . Diboloides Jacoby (Text-fig. 14a). 



* The preparation was made of a leg from a Japanese specimen coUected by G-. Lewis, 

 which was known to Jacoby and no doubt belongs to this genus. 



f Latreille in erecting the genus Dibolia cited two species, namely, Altica (Haltica) echii and 

 A. (H.) occultans. Since the former belongs to the genus Longitarsus, the latter is designated as 

 the genotype of Dibolia. The earliest descriptions of these species occur in Entomologische Hefte, 

 ii, pp. 52 and 23, 1803. The authorship should be ascribed to four people whose names appear 

 at the end of the preface to Entomologische Hefte, Heft i, without any indication as to who was 

 actuaUy the writer of the descriptions. These names are Hoffmann, Koch, Miiller, and Linz. 



In Magaz.f. Insektenkunde, vi, p. 50, 1807, however, Illiger states that Koch was responsible 

 for the descriptions of the species in Ent. Heft., at least certainly those of the Halticinse.
