Elytra rounded or feebly dilated at two-fifths, scarcely as long as wide, the sides gen- 

 erally evenly arcuate with pale margin, the spots not ocellated, the external at 

 two-fifths rounded, generally not or only naiTowly prolonged laterally ; basal spots 

 of the pronotum slightly oblique, never united at base, the pale apical margin 

 bioblique, interrupted or very nearly so at the middle. Length 6.5-8.7 mm.; 

 width 5-5-70 mm. Rhode Island, New Jersey, Indiana, Iowa and Arizona

Elytra oval, not or scarcely appreciably dilated at two-fifths, rather longer than wide ; 

 submarginal spot at two-fifths geminate, the outer part enveloping the margin, 

 which is pale elsewhere with the fine thickened edge slightly darker ; spots all 

 surrounded by a broad pale border, the ground tint red-brown ; basal spots of 

 the pronotum .short but rather large, angulate antero-externally, united at base ; 

 pale apical margin transverse and entire, not interrupted but rather broader at the 

 middle. Length 8.7-Io.p mm.; width 6.8-7.4 mm. Indiana, Wisconsin

Elytra decidedly rhomboidal, scarcely as long as wide, strongly dilated at two-fifths, 

 where there is a small marginal spot ; remainder immaculate or with faint vestiges 

 of one or two of the .spots of the preceding species, the punctures much smaller 

 and nearly equal ; basal spots of the pronotum large, much extended antero-ex- 

 ternally, unitng with the lateral pale area and broadly united at base"; pale 

 apical margin transverse, not interrupted but rather wider at the middle. Length 

 8.3 mm.; width 6.9 mm. California (Siskiyou Co.) ralhvoni Let. 



3 — Elytra very broadly rounded or subrhomboidal, slightly more dilated at two-fifths, 

 scarcely as long as wide, the punctures strong but rather less coarse and more 

 nearly equal than in j^-p'Aiinata, bright brownish-red or ochre, without trace of 

 maculation but having the entire limb deep black, the border clearly defined and 

 scarcely occupying the entire reflexed portion, broadening a little at two-fifths ; 

 pronotum scarcely three-fourths wider than long, broadly, feebly convex, deeply 

 impressed just within the lateral margins, rather finely and not closely punctate ; 

 head black ; entire legs and under surface black, the epipleuroe black in external 

 and red in internal half of their width from base to apex. Length 8. 7-10.0 mm. ; 

 width 7.5-8.7 mm. New Mexico (Fort Wingate) lecontei, sp. nov. 



It can be readily observed that i^-punctata is not even closely re- 

 lated to the European ocellata. SignaticoUis of Mulsant, I have not 

 seen, but it may be the same as mali Say. Lecontei somewhat re- 

 sembles the Me.xican Pelina hydropica, but I cannot see that it differs 

 generically from our other species oi Anatis ; the antennal club is ob- 

 triangular with the three joints rather loosely articulated, shorter than 

 wide and but little more developed internally than e.xternally.
