Gallerucides. 
Neiv genera : — 
Menippus, Clark, Journ. of Ent. ii. p. 257. Closely allied to Galleruca,

Rupilia, Clark, I c. p. 260. Allied to Metalepta (Baly) and Gallet'uca. 
Thorax with the sides rounded j elytra subparallel in the S) »ot covering

P'ebra, Clark, 1. c. p. 261. Forehead strongly angulated or produced, 
forming a process on which the antennae are inserted. Antennae very long,

beyond the intermediate coxae. Sp. Z. emargipeda, Baly. 
Lcetana, Baly, 1. c. p. 232. Allied to Diamphidia, but with the hinder 
tibiae armed with a strong spine, and with the antennae in the niale thickened
