COCCINELLA Linn. 



1. C. PULLATA. — Pale testaceous ; elytra with a yellow lateral 

 margin, in which is a black spot. 



Head yellow : antennae blackish at tip : labrum piceous at 

 base : thorax with a pale testaceous disk ; a narrow yellow an- 

 terior margin; a dilated, oval, yellow lateral margin, separated 

 from the color of the disk by a black line, and including an in- 

 sulated [302] black spot : elytra pale testaceous, with a dull 

 yellowish lateral margin : beneath blackish. 



Length from more than one-fourth of an inch to three-tenths. 



I found an individual several years since, cast up by the 

 waves on the eastern coast of Virginia, and I obtained another 

 when in Florida with Mr. Maclure. 



[Belongs to Myzia Muls. as reformed by me ; G. notans Ran- 

 dall, is a variety of it. — Leg.] 



^. C. BINOTATA. — Black ; lateral margin of the thorax and 

 head yellow ; each elytron with a rufous spot. 



Coccindla hinotata Melsh. Catal. 



Body rounded-oval, convex, punctured, black, polished : head 

 pale yellow : labrum and transverse line on the vertex piceous : 

 thorax with a yellow lateral margin extending for a short dis- 

 tance on the anterior margin ; anterior margin with an obsolete 

 yellowish line interrupted in the middle : elytron each with a 

 rufous, orbicular, central spot. 



Length less than three-twentieths of an inch. 



This species agrees with the Fabrician description of the C. 

 oculata, but it is a widely different species. 



3. C. NORMATA. — Black ; elytron each with a rufous spot. 



C. hipustulata Melsh. Catal. 



Body rounded-oval, convex, black, polished, punctured : head 

 and thorax immaculate : elytron each with a cental, orbicular, 

 rufous spot. 



Length less than three-twentieths of an inch. 



This is very similar to the preceding species, but it is alto- 

 gether destitute of any spot on the head and thorax. It is quite 

 different in form from the C. hipustulata, Fabr.
