b. Body elongate, parallel. 
a. Supra-antennary callus deeply emarginate above near the 
eyes ! 4. Malacosoma. 
b. Supra-antennary callus not emarginate above. 
7. LupevKS. 
B. First joint of posterior tarsi longer than the 3 following united; 
tooth of the claws rounded 8. Monolepta.

Of these genera the monograph of the first 6 is here com- 
pleted, and the greater part of the species of Luperus are also 
described. The numbers are, of Adimonia 57^ of GallerucaVo, 
of llaphidopalpa 1, Malacosoma 5, of Ayelastica 2, of Phyllo- 
hrotica 3, and of Luperus 35 ; of the latter 25 are described. 
Apparently elaborate tables of the species are given under each 
genus j but these are sometimes defective, a striking instance of 
which is to be found at p. 103, where the table of species Ma- 
lacosoma shows only 3, whilst 5 species are afterwards described ; 
and one of those omitted, M. triumphans (Fald.) is said by the 
author himself (p. 105) to be the largest and finest species.^^ 
Kutschera has completed his revision of the European species of Ilalticidcs 
(Wiener ent. Monatsschr. Bd. viii. 1864). He commences (/. c. p. 33) with 
the fortieth species of the genus Lomjitarsiis, of which he here describes 35 
species (11 new), and refers to several other species described by various 
authors, which he believes to belong to the genus, although his imperfect 
acquaintance with them leaves him in uncertainty upon this point. To the 
Llectroscelis (RedLi.) — Plcctroscelis and (l^oud.) he refers 
22 species (2 new), to Psylliodes (Lat.) = Macroenema (Steph.) 41 species 
(6 new), to Dibolia 9 species, to Apteropeda 4 species, to Ilypnophila 
(Fond.) = (ICutsch.) 2 species, io Mmopliila\ species, Spbccro- 
derma 3 species, and to Ary opus 5 species. The new species described 
will bo noticed further on. 
Luperus jiavipennis (Luc.), an Algerian species, has been taken at Nice by 
Peragallo. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1865, p. xli. 
Taschenberg describes the following injurious species of this group; — 
Psylliodes chrysoeephala (Naturg. wirbell. Thiere, pp. 69-73, pi. 2. figs. 1, 2), 
Haltica nemorum (1. c. pp. 737-4, pi. 2. figs. 3-5), and IL oleracea (/. a. 
pp. 74-76, pi. 2. fig. 7). 
The habits and metamorphoses of Psylliodes napi are described by Colonel 
Goureau. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4*^ S(^r. tome iv. p. 668.

Clark has subjected the species referred to Dejean^s genus 
Codomera to a thorough examination, and comes to the conclu- 
sion that the group of insects generally placed under this title 
includes no fewer than 14 genera (Ann. &Mag. Nat. Hist. xvi. 
p. 257), of which he gives the following synopsis : —
