called attention to the synonymy of the two American species 

 with terminatus. 



Schrank's description of the adult insect together with his 

 observations on the biology leave, I think, no room for doubt 

 that terminatus Nees is the same insect. 



The synonymy is therefore as follows: 



Dinocampus coccinellae (Schrank).
