THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 65 



spot on head, this very rarely wanting in the former. Fuscilabris 

 has two common sutural spots and four spots on each elytron; 

 floridana, one sutural spot and five spots on each elytron, while 

 decepia, in all but one or two of the known specimens, has three 

 sutural spots (scutellar, postmedian and subapical) and three spots 

 on each elytron. The spots are much larger than those of floridana 

 and, excepting the scutellar one, more subequal in size than in 

 either of the other forms. The upper surface is much less dis- 

 tinctly alutaceous than in either. I found floridana to be quite 

 common in February on the spatter-dock {Nymphcea advena Soland.) 

 along the Kissimmee River. 



NeDharmonia venusta dissimila, var. now 



Differs from the typical venusta in being more rotund ; in having 

 the head wholly black, the black spots of thorax enlarged and 

 coalesced to form a single large three-lobed discal blotch, the 

 median lobe of which reaches the front margin; and in the four 

 median black spots of elytra being wholly wanting, thus 

 leaving the two basal spots on each, and the common irregular 

 subapical cross-bar. Length 6.5 mm. 



One specimen beaten from elder blossoms on the southeast 

 shore of Lake Okeechobee, March 6. Mr. Wm. T. Davis, of New 

 Brighton, Staten Island, New York, reports that he has a specimen 

 of var. dissimila very similar to the one above described, but having 

 the thorax coloured as in typical venusta. It was beaten from the 

 black willow (Salix nigra L.) on the shore of Plummer's Island, 

 Maryland. June 25, 1911. 



Neoharmonianotulata Muls. One beaten from oak shrubs on 

 Istokpoga Creek, February 26. It has the thorax coloured as in 

 the above variety of venusta, the elytra black with a large irregular 

 red spot on middle of each. 



Psyllobora 20-maculata pallidicola, var. now 



Smaller and paler than 20-maculata, not alutaceous and much 

 less distinctly punctate; thorax wholly pale, without the spots seen 

 in that and other described forms. Elytra without common sutural 

 spots, the others rather large and well defined, with three near 

 middle of disc more or less connected. Length 1.8 — 2 mm.
