Remarks. — In the individuals coming from the Eastern and South- 

 ern States the elytral spots are distinctly larger than in those from 

 Minnesota, Missouri, and Iowa. Specimens from Wyoming and 

 Colorado are intermediate between the typical novemnotata and the 

 variety degener Casey (see below). Moreover, the frequency of 

 specimens having confluent elytral spots is higher in Eastern and 

 Southern States, and lower in the Middle West. 



COCCINELLA NOVEMNOTATA Herbst subspecies DEGENER Casey 



Coccinella degener Casey, 1899, p. 88. 



Coccinella novemnotata Herbst var. degener Casey, Lentg, 1903, p. 198; 1920, p. 

 216.— Johnson, 1910, p. 59. 



This race differs from the typical form by smaller size of the 

 body, more polished surface of the elytra, and by smaller, sometimes 

 absent, elytral spots. The genitalia of both sexes are not signifi- 

 cantly different from those of the typical novemnotata Herbst. The 

 geographic distribution of degener Casey gives a convincing evidence 

 in favor of considering it as a subspecies of novemnotata Herbst, and 

 not as a separate species. Length of the body, 4.8-6.2 mm.
