i2. Coccinella quinque-signata Kirby. — Plate vii, fig. i. Length 

 of body 3 lines. A single specimen taken in Lat. 65 . 



Body oblong-hemispherical, very minutely and thickly punctured ; 

 underneath black and a little downy. Head black with an acute white 

 spot in the forehead between the eyes ; antennae obscurely rufous, dusky 

 at the base and tip ; prothorax black, anterior angles and intermediate 

 streak white ; elytra tawny yellow with an abbreviated band common to 

 both at the base, an oblique discoidal abbreviated band and apical dot, 

 black ; four distant lateral triangular white spots mark the breast.

 lines. A single specimen taken in Lat. 54 . Taken also by Dr. Bigsby

]23i.] Very like the last, but shorter and more hemispherical. Two 

 subtriangular transverse spots between the eyes, apex of the nose, dot at 

 the sinus of the eyes, and anterior angles of the prothorax whitish-yellow \ 

 basal band of the elytra broadest at the suture, the two other black spots 

 are of equal size and placed transversely, and each 'forms an abbreviated 

 band, falling far short of the suture and the lateral margin, so as to be 

 scarcely more than two transverse spots ; scutellar angle of the elytra 

 paler than the rest : the breast has no white spots. In other respects it 

 is exactly like C. 5-signata.

 Several specimens taken in the Journey from New York to Cumberland- 

 house.
