Hamlet Clark has characterized Clievrolat’s gesiiiis Schematiza (Ent. Trans. 
TOl. ii. p. 259), and described the following known species : S. lycoides 
(Gii^r.), 1. c. p. 260; S. frenata (Gudr.), p. 264; and S. Jlavofasciata (Guer.), 
ibid. He states that S, dimidiata (Gu^r.), described as from New Guinea, 
can hardly belong to this genus, the species of which are exdusively South 
American (I. c. p. 264). 
Philippi states that Galleruca decorata and ianthina (Blanch.) belong to 
Ilaltica, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1864, p. 394.
