152 COCCINELLID^E. 



one from Paso del Norte on the United States frontier ; fig. 20 is from one from 



Oaxaca. 



Nmmia fuscilabris, Muls., is a very small and poorly developed form of this species 

 from New Orleans, and there are specimens of it from Canada in Crotch's collection. 

 The locality given by Fabricius 4 is " America." 



MEMIA. 



Namia, Mulsant, Spec. Col. Trim, secur. p. 30 (1850) ; Monogr. Coccin. p. 21 ; Crotch, Eev. 

 Coccin. p. 92. 

 Mr. Crotch in his Revision of the Coccinellidae of the United States [Trans. Am. 

 Ent. Soc. 1873, pp. 364, 369] divided the species of this genus between Megilla and 

 Anisosticta, apparently abandoning the character drawn from the claws.

This genus, with which Adonia, Mulsant, is usually united, is a north-temperate 

 form containing about eighteen species, divided almost evenly between the old and the
