97. Gallerucidia dimidiata Chd. 
This species, which was described from Cuba, is unknown 
to me. 
98. PMoeoxena plagiata n. sp. 
Form nearly as in following species (see fig.), very 
broad, depressed ; head and thorax piceous black, moderately 
shining, but with surface finely reticulate; elytra very dull 
opaque blackish with narrow lateral margin and large, reg- 
ular, transversely oval spot extending from near middle to 
near apex, and laterally to the sixth striae, rufo-testaceous ; 
lower surface piceous except metasterna and abdomen rufo- 
testaceous, latter with narrow black margin; appendages 
rufo-testaceous. Head bi-impressed anteriorly, front with 
a median longitudinal puncture. Prothorax between three 
and four tenths wider than long; side margins rather nar- 
row anteriorly, slightly broader posteriorly; basal angles 
would be right except are narrowly rounded; fovese in an- 
gles very broad and indistinct, more alutaceous than prono- 
tal disk. Elytra with curiously broad, shallow striae, much 
as in P. signata (Dej.) but even less distinct; intervals 
slightly convex, united and slightly more prominent at apex 
as usual in genus; sinuation of apex less pronounced than 
in signata; each elytron with an ocellate puncture at 'ex- 
treme base of second stria, also with three dorsal setigerous 
punctures, the first on the third stria about a sixth from 
base, second and third on second stria before apical third 
and near apex. Length just under 5 mm. 
Holotype $ (American Museum) a unique from Guan- 
tanamo, Cuba, March 3, 1914, taken in a tree, C. T. Rams- 
den. 
The simply plagiate color pattern of this species is unique 
in the genus, except for the following new species. 
99. Phloeoxena imitatrix n. sp. (PI. 5, fig. 10.) 
Superficially almost exactly similar to plagiata (above), 
which it resembles in color except that the elytral macula is 
smaller and the ventral surface rufous to rufo-piceous.
