An examination of the Mexiean speeies placed by Gorham in 

 Coccinella, shows too great diversity for a single genus, and in faet the 

 true Coccinella, as represented by the type, 'j-piinctata, Linn., does not 

 seem to be at all well represented in Mexieo. For such speeies as hitei- 

 pen?iis^ ampla, cyathigera and albopicta, I would propose the generie name 

 Harmoniaspis {w. gen.), and for conipta, concinjia and pant/ierijia, with 

 much shorter antenn?e, the name Harmo?iiella (n. gen.). In imposing the 

 name Harvionia, the type of which may be assumed to be the Brazilian 

 Sommieri, upon such an inharmonious assemblage of speeies, it is 

 assumable that Mulsant merely desired to indulge to a slight extent in 

 entomological " plaisanterie." The name has since been used three or 

 four times in other classes and orders of animals.

The speeies named ''• ater'' in my Revision was first placed in 



Exochoinus, where the name was given it, but afterwards transferred to 



Cycloneda, the name being inadvertently printed as at first applied. It is 



to be hoped that this explanation will be acceptable to Dr. Weise, who
