170 COCCINELLLDJE. 



Oriental species possessed of good differential characters are mixed, forming a medley 

 of heterogeneous elements. 



Thirty species are included under Cycloneda by Crotch. 



1. Cycloneda sallaBi. (Tab. IX. fig. 21.) u * *p «,-*-» |^^*t t5

Hab. Costa Eica (Van Patten), Volcan de Irazu (Rogers); Panama, Volcan de 

 Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). — Venezuela, Caracas 1 ; West Indies (Mus. 

 Brussels 2 ). 



2. Cycloneda callispilota.

Cycloneda callispilota, Crotch, Rev. Coccin. p. 163 \ 



Hab. % Mexico 2 3 4 . — South America, Colombia 3 4 , Brazil * 2 3 4 . 



Guerin * gives " Brazil " as the locality for this species ; but Mulsant asserts 2 that 

 the type came from Mexico. 



3. Cycloneda retrospiciens. (Tab. X. fig. 2.) 



Cycloneda retrospiciens, Crotch, Rev. Coccin. p. 163 \ 



Hab. Mexico 1 (coll. Crotch, ex Beyrolle) ; British Honduras, R. Sarstoon (Blan- 

 caneaux) ; Guatemala, Capetillo, Duenas (Champion). 



In the five specimens we have received of this species the two thoracic lines are not 

 completed as in the type, and the elytra are rather more distinctly margined with black. 

 The insect is evidently allied to Neda marginalis. 



Var.t Lutea, capite prothoraceque dilutioribus, pedibus flavis, tarsis subfuscis. Long. 8 millim. 

 Hab. Guatemala, Duenas (Champion). 



In the single example which I, with some doubt, refer to C. retrospiciens as a variety 

 the head and" thorax are testaceous-yellow, without any trace of markings, except that 

 the base of the latter is very narrowly margined with black. The elytra have the limb 

 so narrowly black as scarcely to be noticeable, and the legs are pale. 



4. Cycloneda sanguinea. 



Coccinella sanguinea, Linn. Amoen. Acad. vi. (Cent. Ins. no. 11) p. 393 (1763) \ 

 Daulis sanguinea, Muls. Spec. Col. Trim, secur. p. 326 a ; Monogr. Coccin. p. 224 \
