ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
I. Claws with a broad basal dilatation. 
A. Antennse with joint 1 very long, 3 longer than 4. 
Cerotoma (Chevr.). 
' B. Antennae with joint 1 moderate. 
1. Front coxae separated Malacosoma (Eosenh.). 
2. Front coxae contiguous. 
a. Elytra not margined at sides Phyllobbotica (Eedt.). 
. Elytra distinctly margined. 
* Epipleurae not extending to apex, 
a. Last joint of max. palpi small subulate. 
Phyllechthrus (Dej.). 
Last joint of max. palpi conical acute. 
Luperus (Geoff.). 
Epipleurae extending to apex. 
a. Upper margin of epipleurae thick obtuse. 
Agelastica (Eedt.). 
(3. Upper margin of epipleurae very sharp, prominent. 
Gastrogyna, g. n. 
II. Claws cleft or acutely toothed. 
A. Tibiae deeply grooved externally Ccelomera (Chevr.). 
B. Tibiae not sulcate externally. 
1. Forehead carinated between antennae. Diabrotica (Chevr.). 
2. Forehead flat, with an impressed line. 
a. Epipleurae extending to apex Galeruca (Geoff.). 
b. Epipleurae not reaching apex Trirhabda, g. n. 
III. Claws acute, usually entire Monoxia, g. n. 
The species of these genera are briefly characterized, and in the case of 
the larger genera, such as Luperus, Diabrotica, and Galeruca, and in the new 
genera Ti'irJiabda and Monoxia they are also tabulated. The last-named 
genus presents an exception to the general characters of the group in having 
the claws usually simple. 
.loANNis has completed his monograph of the European Gallei'ucides 
(L’Abeille, iii. pp. 145-148) by giving descriptions of the remaining species 
of Liipems and of those of Monolepta, and the characters of his new genus 
Marseidia. Monolepta includes 3 species, 1 of which is new. In conclusion 
(1. c. p. 162), the author discusses the question of the distinctness of Luperus 
sulphuripes (Graells) tmdi fovcolatus (Eosenh.), which ho had united in the 
first portion of his memoir. Perez-Arcas has indicated the diflerences be- 
tween the two species, showing that sidphuripes is a true Luperus, VfhW&ifoveo- 
laius belongs to the section Calomicrus. .Toannis also quotes Kiosonwottor’s 
character of his Luperus nigripes (/. c. p. 164). Plate ii., intended to accom- 
pany this memoir, contains the following figures : — Heads of Lupei'us and 
Golleruca, figs. 1 and 1 bisj eggs of Galleruca, fig. 2; larvas of Agelastica 
halensis and Galleruca cratcegi, figs. 3, 4 ; Adimonia orientalis, fig. 5 ; pronota
