THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 413 



A subspecies of Uteella may be defined as follow.s : 



B. Sonorana^ n. siibsp. — Form still narrower than in Uteella^ ellip- 

 soidal, polished, black, very minutely, decidedly sparsely punctulate ; 

 female with spots nearly as in Uteella but much smaller, except that the 

 rectangle formed by the basal and slightly post-medial spots is still more 

 elongated and the humeral spot is reduced to a small dot; the basal spots 

 differ in being very small, nubilous and wholly detached from the margin. 

 Length, 3.0 mm.; width, 2.0 mm. Mexico (Colonia Garcia, Chihuahua), 

 Townsend. 



I have not examined the male in either of these forms, which differ 

 profoundly from icrsina in their narrower, more elongate outline, and, 

 more especially, in the very fine and sparser punctures. 



B. metator, n. sp. — Form and coloration nearly as in testiido, deep 

 black, polished, the spots sharply defined, rather small and bright yellow ; 

 head ( ? ) black throughout, the pronotum black, with the yellow lateral 

 margin moderate, dilated somewhat anteriorly; elytra distinctly though 

 moderately punctate, the spots nearly as in testudo but smaller and more 

 widely separated, the basaKnot basally truncate, but circular and only 

 tangent to the basal margin ; lags pale, the femora gradually piceous 

 toward base. Length, 2.2 mm.; width, 1.7 mm. Texas (Del Rio), 

 Wickham. 



Differs from testudo and Bolli in having the head of the female black 

 and not pale, and in the form of the basal spots of the elytra. 



Hyperaspis, Chev. 



In this genus the variety which I described under the name 

 angustata should be considered a synonym of elhptica. On the other 

 hand, the variety that I described under the name omissa would appear to 

 have greater value, perhaps fully specific, as the form is rather more 

 oblong and less convex, the punctures more crowded toward the sides of 

 the pronotum, and the total absence of the conspicuous and very constant 

 discal spot of lateralis gives it a very different appearance. Notatula 

 should be removed from its position as originally published to the vicinity 

 oi 4-oculata. The following species have come to I'ght since my last 

 revision : 



H. cemtilator, n. sp. — Broadly oval, very convex, black, shining, 

 rather finely and loosely punctate ; head ( ? ) piceous, very gradually 

 darker basally ; pronotum with a large internally rounded yellow spot, 

 wider than long, at each side ; elytra each with three moderately large
