ABSTRACT
An examination of leaf beetle specimens (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in the largest beetle collections in Kentucky, recent inventory work in state nature preserves and other protected areas, and a review of the literature revealed thirty species of the tribes Galerucini and Luperini (Subfamily Galerucinae) present in Kentucky, thirteen of which are previously unreported for the state.

ABSTRACT
An annotated list, including information on type species, distribution, and number of species, is provided for all of the non-flea-beetle galerucine genera known to occur in the New World (tribes Galerucini, Metacyclini, and Luperini). A diagnostic key to the genera is provided. Habitus illustrations are provided for most genera.

Abstract
Keys are provided for the 212 species of Galerucinae from the United States and Canada, also descriptions and illustrations of many of the species. There are descriptions of the new genera, Ophraella (type: Galleruca notata Fabricius), Brucita (type: Galerucella mar- moraia Jacoby), Lygistus (type: Lygistus streptophallus n.

This paper is based largely on material collected on the David Rockefeller Mexican Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History (Spieth, 1950). The area covered by the expedition was the northern part of the Mexican plateau in the states of Chihuahua, Durango, Zacatecas, and Coahuila.

Most of the following notes, descriptions, etc., and others, published elsewhere, have been written at various times in the past years while devoting some of my little spare time to the study and investigation of Chrysomelidae.
With the transfer of the museum’s collections to Washington some of the type specimens from which the descriptions were drawn are
