clavicornis, L. ; Brachysplmnus irroratus and multinotatus should be

by G-. Lewis in Japan : Ent. M. M. ix. pp. 184-189. Tritoma, F., nec 
Geolfr., is re-named Cyrtotriplax, p. 189. Additions are made by E. W. 
Janson & C. O. Waterhouse, ibid. 
Languria jmncticollis, Say; habits and larva described, and larva and 
pupa figured ; A. S. Packard, Rep. Ins. Mass. iii. pp. 23 & 24, figs. 148

New genera and species : — 
Megischyrus, Crotch, Cist. Ent. (vi.) p. 143. Prosternum strongly 
keeled ; antennal club loosely jointed. M. nicaraguce^ id. ibid., Nicaragua, 
and Ischyrus sanguinolentus and discipennis^ Lac. 
Cypjlierotylus^ Crotch, I. c. p. 148. The colour (uniformly black, with 
pale elytra, irregularly black spotted), margined base of thorax, hardly 
apparent interstitial punctuation, and " sexual differences " [not speci- 
fied] combine to separate this at once. Type, Chrysomela gibbosa, L., 
also C. sphacelatus (indirectly attributed to C. gorii, as a var.), Erotylus 
dromedarius, Lac. [stated, however, not to differ sufficiently to entitle it 
to specific distinction : — from what other species, is not mentioned], and 
C. impressipunctatus, p. 148, and jansoni (? = gorii, var., teste Crotch), p. 
149, Nicaragua, spp, nn. This genus is also characterized as new by the 
author in Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. iv. p. 358, where it is stated to have the 
head produced in front into a rostrum which is narrowed for the inser- 
tion of the antennee ; the elytra with irregular deep punctures ; the 
thorax unevenly impressed, base margined ; anterior femora globose ; 
1st ventral segment with pilose dot in ^. C. boisduvali (Chevr.) is 
added to its species.
