45 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [Dec., *I2 



Type. $ in my collection. 



Type locality. Weitchpec, Humboldt Co., Calif, (on oak), 

 May 20, 1911 (Nunenmacher). 



The metacoxal line in this species curves to meet the first 

 ventral suture, runs with it a short distance, then curves for- 

 ward and stops just as it clears the suture. In Mr. Leng's 

 table, it will fall in his fourth group and near fenyesi, having 

 the fifth ventral segment strongly excavated. The spine OH 

 the anterior tibia is small, about as wide as long, appearing as 

 an acute triangle. I dedicate this to my friend, Mr. C. W. 

 Leng, in recognition of his able work on this group. 



Hyperaspis idae n. sp. 



9 Color, shining black throughout except the elytra, which have 

 three red spots arranged as follows : a semi-circular marginal about 

 its own width from base and with its straight side touching the mar- 

 gin; a small rounded discal placed just before the middle and closer 

 to the suture than to the margin ; and a subapical one the same size 

 as the discal, nearer the margin than the suture or tip. Form, broadly 

 oval, feebly convex. Held, finely punctured. Pronotum, slightly more 

 coarsely and closely punctured than the head. Elytra, punctured like 

 pronotum. Ventral Surface, closely and coarsely punctured. 



Length : $ 2.25 mm. Width : 2.50 mm. 



Type. 9 and one cotype $ in my collection. 



Type locality. Humboldt Co., Calif., April 25, 1911 (Nu- 

 nenmacher). 



Geo. Dist. Humboldt Co., Calif., one specimen; Guernevill, 

 Sonoma Co., Calif., May 30, 1908, one specimen (Dr. F. E. 

 Blaisdell). 



This species is closely related to lateralis Muls. The form 

 of the metacoxal line in this species leaves a space between it 

 and the first ventral suture whereas in lateralis it touches the 

 first ventral suture. The two specimens before me were taken 

 in different places but are identical in every regard. 



Hyperaspis falli n. sp. 



$ Color, deep shining black except the head and anterior angles 

 of pronotum, which are yellow, and the front pair of legs, tibiae and 

 tarsi of the others, which are dark testaceous. Form, broadly oval, 

 feebly convex. Held, very finely and closely punctured. Pronotum,
