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

A new species of leaf beetle, Monoxia andrewsi sp. nov. (Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Galerucini) from the coast of southern Texas, USA, is described and illustrated. The new species is compared to M. elegans Blake, 1939, the most-similar described species. It is associated with Atriplex (Amaranthaceae) growing adjacent to coastal saline habitats.

Abstract

The genus Erynephala Blake, 1970 is reviewed based on linear morphometry and a morphological study. A cladistic analysis of the genus based on morphological characters is also presented.
The results demonstrate that Erynephala brighti Blake, 1970 is synonym of Erynephala maritima (LeConte 1865), and that
