 of Florissant bees (Bull-Mus. Comp. Zool. 1906) this runs to 

 Halictus florissantelhts. from which it differs by the broader, 

 reddish abdomen ; the light reddish nervures and stigma ; the 

 transversomedial separated from the basal nervure by a short 



interval, etc.

Two New Species of Coccinellidae (Coleoptera). 



BY F. W. NUNENMACHER, Piedmont, Calif. 

 While working over some material collected near Goldfield, 

 Nev., during the last year, I found two Coccinellidae which I 

 consider belong to undescribed species. I therefore take this 

 opportunity to make them known. 



Coccinella vandykei n. so. 



Oval, strongly convex. Head, black, finely punctate, with two yel- 

 low spots on vertex. Thorax, black, shining, a little more coarsely 

 punctured than the head, and with a quadrate yellow spot at each an- 

 terior angle. Elytra, bright red, finely but thickly punctured, and to- 

 gether marked with seven black spots. These latter are arranged as 

 follows : A common large scutellar spot, and on each elytron, a small 

 median one near the margin, a larger discoidal close to the suture, 

 and a third large spot, more oblong than round or oval, placed sub- 

 apically and closer to the margin than the suture. Under side black, 

 the mesosternal epimeron and the metasternal epimcron yellow, mod- 

 erately coarsely punctured throughout. L. .18 to .20 inch; w. .14 to .16. 



Scarce, on sage brush at 6600 feet elevation Goldfield, Xcv.,

T consider this species a form intermediate between C. o- 

 notcita and C. califomica, resembling the first most with regard 

 to the elytral markings, and the latter most with regard to the 

 markings of the head and thorax. The scutellar spot, with 

 regard to its size and form, also more closely resembles that on 

 C. califomica than that on C. Q-notata.
