CHEYSOMELIDjE. 
Group TYPOPHORINI. 
Body oblong or ovate, glabrous above ; eyes often with a broad 
sulcus above ; antennae subfiliform. Thorax narrower than the 
elytra, with distinct lateral margins. Posterior and intermediate 
tibiae emarginate at apex ; claws bihd or appendiculate. Anterior 
margin of thoracic episternum convex. 
This group is more strongly represented in Africa than in India, 
from whence only a few genera are known. The emarginate, inter- 
mediate and posterior tibiae in connection with the shape of the 
thoracic episternum form the best marks of distinction for this group.

Genus PARIA. 
Paria, Leconte , Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Plnlad. ix, 1858, p. 86; Chapuis, 
Gen. Cole opt. x, 1874, p. 331; Left v. Cat. JEumolp. 1885, p. 132. 
Type, P. quaclri- guttata, from N, America. 
Range. North and South America ; Japan; Tibet; India. 
Short and ovate ; elytra punctate-striate ; femora dentate 
beneath, all other characters those of the group. The genus differs 
from Mouhotina in the constricted shape of the prosternum and 
the bifid, not appendiculate, claws.

Fig. 162 . — Paria lefevrei. 
Fulvous; the terminal joints 
of the antennae and the breast 
black. Thorax finely and spar- 
ingly punctured, with two black 
vitras. Elytra distinctly punc- 
tate-striate, fulvous, the suture 
anteriorly, the lateral margins 
a spot at the base and another 
behind the middle, black. 
Head entirely impuuctate, 
with a deep sulcus above the 
eyes ; clypeus broader than 
long, separated from the face 
by an obsolete transverse 
groove, impunctate ; antennae 
with the terminal joints 
slightly thickened. Thorax
