Hah. North America 3 4 , United States * 2 . — Mexico (coll. Gorham), Yucatan 2 . 



This insect is not represented in M. Salle's or any of the recent Mexican collections 

 which have been sent ; specimens of the black variety with a red transverse spot are, 

 however, contained in my own collection.

 rolat 1 2 3 ), Playa Vicente (Salle 4 ), Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith) ; Guatemala, Panzos 

 (Champion). 



Mulsant's types of Harmonia ampla and H. soularyi are now before me, that of 

 H. ampla 1 being included in the Crotch Collection at Cambridge. They are specifically 

 identical, there being scarcely any d fFerence even in the number of spots ; in the typical 

 form the second transverse band does not show any trace of the fourth spot nearest the 

 suture, this spot even in C. soularyi being often evanescent. There is no difference in 

 punctuation, form, or structure. Mulsant must have forgotten the original type when 

 he described this as new from M. Salle's collection. The species has very much the 

 markings of Cycloneda abdominalis (which Mulsant has redescribed, Monogr. p. 64, 

 under the name of Harmonia V-nigrum) ; but is more depressed, and has the closely 

 punctured, alutaceous sculpture of Harmonia. 



8. Coccinella quinquepunctata. 



Coccinella quinque-punctata, Linn. Syst. Nat. ed. 10, i. p. 365 (1758); Muls. Hist. Nat. Col. Fr., 

 Securip. p. 76 \ 



Hal. Europe 1 . — Mexico (Salle). 



Of this species, which has not before been noticed in the New World, there is a 

 single specimen labelled " Mexico " in M. Salle's collection.
