Common in the central and western parts of Mexico. Six varieties of this species 
are described by Boheman, and to these may also be added C. fasciata, the type of 
which is contained in the British Museum. We have received two specimens of the 
variety fasciata from Michoacan ; it differs from typical C. diannularis in having the 
median fascia well defined, and disconnected from the posterior markings. We figure 
two male examples, one of which (fig. 11) represents the var. fasciata.

Most of the specimens I have seen of this species are from the Mexican State of 
Puebla. I have examined the type of C. 16-std//ata in the British Museum, and also 
a specimen of C. conjugata (3) named by Boheman himself in the same collection: 
the former * is inseparable from C. 14-punctata; the latter is a variety of the same 
species with the two posterior spots obliterated, and has been received with the typical 
form from Matamoros Izucar. The elytra have each six rather large black spots, 
arranged 2, 2, 2, the posterior two very obliquely placed, each pair showing a tendency 
to become coalescent, and the suture is sometimes black at the base; the prothorax 
has two large black spots placed transversely on the disc. We figure a typical 
example (female) from Puebla (fig. 12); a female, from Acapulco, agreeing with the 
type of C. 16-stil/ata in the British Museum (fig. 13); and a male, from Matamoros 
Izucar, agreeing with a specimen named as C. conjugata by Boheman in the same 
collection (fig. 14). 
18. Chelymorpha 13-maculata. (Tab. VII. fig. 15, 2.) 
Chelymorpha 13-maculata, Boh. Monogr. Cassid. ii. p. 42', and iv. p. 207?; Cat. Col. Ins. Brit.

Hab. Mexico 1-3, 
* This has six spots on each elytron, as in typical C. 14-punctata ; Boheman gives seven.
