CHRYSOLAMPRA.

further investigation, since a great deal of material contained in 
large collections has not yet been worked out. The Eumolpince 
are numerously represented in India, and can readily be distin- 
guished from the subfamilies in the Eupocles by the position of 
the antennae, placed widely apart, and by the shape of the thorax. 
From the subfamilies of the Camptosomes they differ by the generally 
filiform and long antennae, also by the general shape of the body. 
The deeply divided third tarsal joint and the round cotyloid cavities 
separate the Eumolpince, from the true Chrysomelince. 
The larvae of these insects live, so far as is known, free on 
plants or rarely within their stems, but they do not construct 
cocoons nor cover themselves with their own excreta, as do the 
larvae of some of the forms in the preceding subfamilies. 
Group IPH1MEINI. 
Species of elongate or oblong-subcylindrical shape ; antennae 
long and filiform. Thorax trausverse, with lateral margins entire. 
Anterior femora dilated beneath into a strong tooth. First tarsal 
joint as long as the following two united. Prosternum longer 
than broad. 
Although rather numerously represented in the New World, we 
have only one Indian genus belonging to this group, Chrysolamprci, 
which may be known from other Indian genera by the dentate 
anterior femora ; all the species are metallic.

Type, C. sjolendens, Baly, from China. 
Range. India ; China. 
Elongate. Plead deeply inserted ; antennae slender and filiform, 
nearly as long as the whole of the body, basal joint thick, second 
short, third and fourth equal, fifth and following joints more 
elongate. Thorax transverse, convex, anterior angles deflexed.
