14 — Elytral punctures very minute and inconspicuous, equal ; side margins distinctly 



reflexed 15 



Elytral punctures strong, conspicuous and more or less unequal 16 



15 — Mesosternum truncate anteriorly ; body broadly rounded and very convex ; pro- 

 notum black with pale lateral markings, the elytra immaculate as in CEito/>ia ; 

 nietacoxal plates very rarely with a distinct trace of the dividing line. 



Cycloneda 



Mesosternum broadly and rather feebly sinuate ; body as in Cycloneda and similarly 

 punctulate, but having a feeble longitudin.il submarginal furrow somewhat as m 

 Chilocoriis, disappearing behind the middle and particularly pronounced in the 

 black forms ; ornamentation dimorphous ; oblique line of the metacoxal 

 plates distinct but not united with the bounding curve posteriorly Olla 



Mesosternum truncate but with a very small, shallow and circularly rounded median 

 notch ; body broadly rounded but rather depressed ; pronoium pale, variegated 

 with black, the elytra pale, usually with black vitt£E. Africa * Vtrania 



16 — Mesosternum truncate, with a very minute shallow rounded notch at the middle 

 as in Vcrania ; body oblong-oval, moderately convex ; pronotum pale, varie- 

 gated with black markings, the elytra pale, with an irregular dark design. 



Cleis 



Mesosternum broadly and deeply sinuate ; body more or less broadly oval, moderately 

 convex 17 



17 — Prosternal process narrow, strongly bicarinate ; pronotum with two large sub- 

 quadrate black spots, narrowly and rectilinearly separated ; elytra spotted with 

 black, or dark with pale spots Anisocalvia 



Prosternal process broad, strongly convex in a transverse direction and prominent at 

 the apical margin ; pronotum black, with pale lateral or sublateral and basal 

 areas, the elytra generally pale with black spots or immaculate ; body large in 

 size »natis 



18 — Hypomera with a well-marked but .shallow rounded antennal depression ; pro- 

 notum ornamented almost exactly as in Coccinella ; body moderate in size, very 

 broadly rounded 19 



Hypomera without an antennal depression ; body more broadly oval, the pronotum 

 nearly as in Anatis 20 



19 — Antennae inserted very close to the eyes, the latter broadly and^feebly sinuated by 

 the large antennal cavity ; epistoma without a semi- corneous margin at the bottom 

 of the sinus ; body moderately convex, the elytra pale with black vittje. South 

 Africa. ( Type 4 lineafa. ) * C> doaia 



Antennte not quite so close to the eyes, which are more deeply and narrowly sinuated 

 by the post-antennal canthus ; epistoma with the usual semi-corneous apical 

 margin at the bottom of the sinus ; body .strongly convex, the elytra black, irregu- 

 larly ornamented with large red areas. Africa. (Type htnatus.) 



^Cheilomenes 



20 — Antenn;e and eyes as in Cydonia ; epistoma with a narrow coriaceous apical 

 margin at the bottom of the sinus ; elytra very finely punctulate, black, orna- 

 mented with large irregular red blotches ; sides gradually less declivous to the 

 edge, which is not reflexed or thickened ; prosternum narrowly excavated along 

 the median line to beyond the middle. Siberia. (Type hexaspilota. ). • •* Ithone
