Notes on Galerucince in My Collection 
255 
thorax rather transverse, convex, obsoletely punctulate, the 
black in the femora is more extended on the upper than the 
under side, smaller than xanthaspis Germ, and more shining. 
Malacosoma (Exora) cyaneomaculatum sp. nov. 
Medium sized, fulvous yellow, antennae, tibiae, tarsi and 
apex of femora bluish black, the apical third of elytra covered b}^ 
a cyaneous blue patch, which attains but does not cover the 
indexed edge, the basal two thirds with a distinct golden sheen. 
Type 3 examples Callanga, Peru, sent me by Messrs. Staud- 
inger and B. Haas as cotypes of Diabrotica cyaneo-maculata Jac. 
(M. S. S.). Length 6 mm. Bow coll. 
Head with a deep transverse groove and a few punctures on 
the vertex, antennae long, joints 2-3 nearly equal, thorax shining 
with obsolete basal and lateral depressions and everywhere, 
finely punctured, elytra closely, strongly, evenly punctate, 
slightly depressed at the suture below the base, the fulvous part 
somewhat sheeny. In all probability the specimen sent Mr. 
Jacoby for identification was Diabrotica ; this looked like it 
superficially and were so sent out by the dealers. 
Malacosoma (Exora) basale sp. nov. 
Large sized, deep orange yellow, antennae excep t (first 2 
joints) (last 3 lacking) tibiae and tarsi blackish blue, elytra very 
closely coriaceously punctate, base broadly cyaneous purple, or 
blue. 
Type 1 example Santa Fe de Bogota, 1 in the 1st Jac. coll. 
Bogota; 1, 2nd Jac. coll, no locality, the last two specimens have 
the purple confined to a broad basilar band and this I regard 
as the typical form. The first specimen, which is the most 
perfect, has the dark color extended nearly to the apex. Length 
9-10 mm. Bow. coll. 
Head with well marked transverse groove, at vertex sparsefy, 
finely punctate, antennae with 3 joint twice length of 2, thorax 
transverse, sides nearly straight very finely sparsely punctulate, 
depressions only ihdicated, elytra, stout, parallel, without de-
