Remarks. — The Middle West representatives are clearly intermedi- 

 ate between degener and the typical novemnotata. The variability of 

 all the characters in which these subspecies differ from each other is 

 very high in this region. On the other hand, many individuals from 

 the western part of the distribution of degener have some of the 

 spots on the elytra very small or missing. The subspecies degener 

 is thus connected with the subspecies oregona Casey and franciscana 

 Mulsant by a series of intergrades. 



COCCINELLA NOVEMNOTATA Herbst subspecies OREGONA Casey 



Coccinella novemnotata Herbst subspecies oregona Casey, 1908, p. 403. — Leng, 

 1920, p. 216. 



This subspecies is very close to degener Casey. It differs from it 

 by the larger size of the body (equal to that of the typical novem- 

 notata Herbst), by very dense but obscure punctation, and by very 

 small and frequently missing elytral spots. The surface of the 

 elytra is more polished than in either novemnotata novemnotata or 

 novemnotata degener. 



Geographic distribution. — Localities as follows: 



British Columbia: Vernon, Midday Valley, Merritt, Nanaimo, Victoria, Depar- 

 ture Bay. 



Washington: Fairfield, Pullman, Blue Mountains, Coulee City, Ritzville, Paha, 

 Toppenish, Paradise Inn (Mount Rainier National Park), Olympia, Tenino. 



Oregon: Wallowa Mountains, La Grande, Portland, McMinnville, Coast Range 

 (Benton County), Corvallis, Klamath County, Amity. 



California: Modoc County, Klamath Lake, Lassen County, CarrviUe, Plumas 

 County, Mono County. 



Remarks. — This subspecies occupies the northern Pacific States. 

 In California it finds the southern limit of its distribution, and is 

 connected by numerous intermediates with the more southern sub- 

 species, nsimely franciscana Mulsant.
