AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 371 



C monticola, Muls. Trim., p. 115; lacustris, Lee, Pr. Acad, vi., 131.— 

 Black, thorax at the anterior angles with a quadrate white spot; elytra orange 

 with a large scutellar spot, and each with a broad oblique medial fascia, and a 

 shorter sub apical one black. L. - 28 — "30 inch. 



Lake Superior, Oregon, Vancouver. I think this identical with 

 C. nlvicola from Siberia. 



C prolongata, sp. n. ; monticola J, Lee. Pr. Acad, vi., 131. — Very like C. 

 b-notata, and intermediate between it and C. monticola, punctuation more obso- 

 lete (much as in C. 9-notata), elytra as in the variety transversalia, the humeral 

 spot never present, but often with a small sub-marginal spot beyond the 

 medial one (one even with a medial fascia). L. "27 — - 29 inch. 



Utah, Kansas, California. 



This differs from the others by the anterior angles of the thorax, 

 the white spot is prolonged acutely on to the disc, and the margin is 

 often narrowly white ; in both the others the spot is quadrate. 1 have 

 seen a variety in Dr. Horn's collection with the spots confluent irregu- 

 larly. 



** Elytra strongly punctulate, shining. 



C. tricuspis, Kirby, Faun. B. A., 231, 314.— Black, ovate, less convex, 

 thorax with the anterior angles triangularly whitish ; elytra orange with a 

 common black sub-basal fascia, tridentate in front, and each with a triangular 

 sub-apical spot black. L. -19 inch. 



Hudson's Bay, Canada, Lake Superior, Kansas, Siberia. 



C. — Epimera black, tibice pale. 



C aimectans, sp. n. — Oval, black, tibiae, antennae and mouth pale red- 

 dish; head with two white spots bordering the eyes; thorax short, yellowish- 

 white, with a lateral dot and a discoidal M-like mark black (this design is 

 variable): elytra with a common scutellar spot (sometimes bilobed) and each 

 with seven others black; two small near the base (the outer one largest), three 

 across the middle (the outer smallest), two before the apex visibly punctulate. 

 L. -20 inch. 



Colorado. (Horn.) Elytral pattern very variable, of the three be- 

 fore me no two are precisely alike. 



This differs from any Coccinella by the pale tibiae and black epi- 

 mera, but the angulate coxal line and margined metasternum place it 

 in this genus. 



CYCLONEDA, Crotch. {Daulis \\ Muls.) 



Placed in another division by Mulsant, but really very closely 



allied to Coccinella and forming a link between it and Harmonia. 



Tibial spurs short and weak, metasternum margined, form convex, 



thorax rather broadly reflexed, metacoxal Hue following the apical
