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.
