A. 6-pustulata of Linueus. which last differs only in the presence 

 of an additional spot at the tip of each elytron. Careful compari- 

 son of specimens of A. 4-m-nni'nta from England and France, and 

 the description in AVeise's tables of European Coccinelliflae (Zeit- 

 schvift fur Entomologie. Breslau. 1879), with our A humertifix 

 proves their identity. Specimens in my collection are from Wor- 

 cester, Southbridge, Chicopee. Mass., and Brattleboro, Vt. Two 

 specimens collected by Dr Geo. Dimmock in Springfield, Mass., 

 are of the form A- 6-i>nstnl<it<i. 



I also have a specimen with the red humeral and apical spots 

 present, but without the merliau pair of spots, thus corresponding 

 with the European variety, A. Xiin<>nf. of Weise.

 of insects, however, whether relating to American or exotic species.will be re- 

 corded. The numbers in HKAVV-FACED TYPE refer to the journals, as num-
