128 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



and the name originally given our species becomes valid and has been 

 adopted by Jacoby (Biol. Cent. Am., vi , pt. i., p. 197, pi. xi., fig. 6). That 

 the name should remain in future Calligrapha scalaris is fortunate, since 

 we have lately received from Arizona a specimen of Calligrapha multi- 

 guttata Stal (in cab. Lee), which is well figured in the work above cited, 

 pi. X., fig. 5. 



Calligrapha opifera Stal. To this species I refer some specimens 

 collected by Morrison in Arizona. They differ from the figure given by 

 Jacoby (Biol. loc. cit., pi. 12, fig. 10) in having the elytral markings nar- 

 rower, so that the sigmoid band does not unite with the sutural stripe. In 

 all other respects there seems to be no difference ; the markings are of the 

 same type and occupy the same relative position. 



Calligrapha labyrinthica Lee. Under this name specimens have 

 been distributed in many cabinets, based on a name long existing in Dr. 

 LeConte's cabinet, and which has never been published. The markings 

 so exactly reproduce those of C. pnirsa Stal (Biol. loc. cit., pi. 11, fig. 

 18) that I have no hesitation in referring our specimens to that species. 

 My specimens are from Canada. I have no memorandum of the locality 

 of those in LeConte's cabinet. 



Calligrapha limbaticollis Stal, should be omitted from our lists. The 

 species was added by Crotch on the authority of several specimens marked 

 " Chicago " in the cabinet of Dr. LeConte. On inquiry by me concerning 

 these specimens. Dr. LeConte told me that the source from which he 

 obtained them had proven very unreHable in other cases, and he advocated 

 removing the above name from our lists. 



Doryphora (Leptinotarsa) vielariothorax Stal. A specimen collected 

 by Prof Snow in New Mexico is in LeConte's cabinet, and has been identi- 

 fied by the latter with, this species. It is of the form and size of Halde- 

 niani, etc., head and thorax black with a slight tinge of green, the elytra 

 vittate nearly as in decemlifieata. 



Flagiodera flosculosa Stal. A specimen of this species is in my 

 cabinet from California. Body oval, not very convex, beneath aeneo- 

 piceous. Head piceous, front testaceous. Antennae with the five basal 

 joints testaceous, the outer joints black. Thorax sparsely finely punctate, 

 piceous, the apex and sides testaceous. Elytra coarsely sparsely punctate 

 without order, yellowish, suture black, except a short distance at base, a 

 median transverse black band, sinuous on its margins and wider exter-
