CHRYSOMELlDiE. 
Ins. 85 
of most importance in the Chrysomelidce are to be found in the tarsi, the 
palpi, the rnargination, and shape of the sides of the thorax, in the 
arrangement of the punctuation of the elytra, in the apical segment of 
the abdomen, and more rarely in the antennge ; the telum, or male organ 
(the general structure of which is described in a note) is likewise impor- 
tant in the Chrysomelidoi, though useless for classification in many other 
groups. The following known species of Chryaomela are first tabu- 
lated, and then noticed in greater detail, and generally redescribed : — C.
