As I remarked before, the present species seems to be separated from the preceding 

 one by but slight characters, which are the greater size and the larger spots, of which, 

 as in a pantherina, only the shoulder-spot and the one behind the middle are the 

 largest ; structural characters of any consequence I cannot find any. The two species 

 in question differ from C. fuhipes, in which the elytral spots are similarly arranged, in 

 the greater number of the latter, C. fuhipes having spots of double the size of those 

 in either C. felina or C. pantherina. 



27. Calligrapha billbergi (Tab. X. fig. 7.)

Eab. Mexico 1 2 (Salle). 



This species is not difficult to recognize on account of the two spots placed trans- 

 versely near the scutellum, the transverse short band across the sutural margin, and the 

 eleven rather large spots of almost equal size, of which two occupy the extreme lateral 

 margin ; the shoulder-spot is very elongate and rather curved, extending to nearly the 

 middle of the elytra. 



28. Calligrapha limbaticollis. (Tab. XI. figg. 8, 9.)

Eab. Mexico 1 (Salle). 



In this insect the ferruginous colour prevails and occupies in its design nearly the 

 whole of the elytra as well as parts of the thorax; the synonym of C. maculicollis, 

 Sturm, as given in Gemminger's Catalogue, does not refer to the present, but represents 

 another allied species. The figures are taken from a normally coloured specimen and a 

 variety (fig. 9). The species does not seem to be an abundant one ; it was not obtained 

 by Herr Hoge, and is represented in M. Salle's collection by three specimens only. 



29. Calligrapha gyllenhali. (Tab. XI. fig. 10.) 



Calligrapha gyllenhali, Stal, Diagn. 1859, p. 324; Monogr. Chrys. Amer. p. 284 \ 

 Calligrapha maculicollis, Sturm, Cat. 1843, p. 288 2 . 



Eab. Mexico 1 2 (SallS, coll. Sturm). 



The two specimens named by Sturm, and contained in M. Salle's collection, prove 

 this species to be the C. gyllenhali of Stal. In general coloration it is allied to
