NEW PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA 87 
tibiae chanelled, unarmed; the first joint of the posterior tarsi 
not longer than the two following together; claws appendiculate; 
prosternum narrow but distinct; the anterior coxal cavities 
closed. 
Hab. Celebes, Kandari, March (0. Beccari). 
The name Euphyma Baly having already been used by 
M." Baly for a genus of Cryptocephalidae (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877) 
I propose to alter it to Solena; the genus was established on 
a species from India, having like the present insect short lon- 
gitudinal grooves at the base of the thorax; the general appea- 
rance is not unlike a Podagrica of the family Halticinae. All the 
characters peculiar to the genus and pointed out by M." Baly 
_ are present in the species from Celebes of which numerous 
specimens were obtained; they may be separated from E. col- 
laris Baly by the closely punctured thorax and the colour of 
the antennae and tibiae. 
66. Solenia laevicollis, n. sp. 
Broadly ovate, rufous; the 5 intermediate joints of the an- 
tennae, black; head and thorax impunctate; elytra metallic 
blue, closely semipunctate-striate. 
Length 2 !/, lines. 
Head broad, impunctate; frontal tubercles transverse and 
broad; labrum and palpi fulvous; antennae half the length of 
the body, fulvous, joints 4-8 black, the third joint one half 
longer than the second; thorax more than twice as broad as 
long, the sides straight at the base, rounded in front, the an- 
terior margin concave, its angles bluntly toothed, surface enti- 
rely impunctate with a very short perpendicular groove at each 
side of the basal margin; scutellum fulvous; elytra convex, 
closely and finely punctured, the punctuation arranged in semi- 
regular single, and at the sides, double rows; underside and 
legs entirely fulvous. 
Hab. Celebes, Kandari, March (O. Beccari). 
This species agrees with £. collaris in the impunctate thorax,
