Occurs in California, Washington, British Columbia, Idaho, 

 Oregon, Vancouver. 



This is the extreme northwestern form of the species. 



The species hondurasica, Hmbiter and ater described in Major 

 Casey's paper should not be included in our lists, two being from out- 

 side our limits and one, ater, from an unrecorded locality. The 

 description of the last is as follows : 



" Pronotum completely black ; body broadly rounded and rather less convex, 

 shining deep black throughout above and beneath, the sides of the prothorax rather 

 less arcuate, and the basal angles more narrowly rounded ; elytral punctures much 

 larger and more distinct than usual, but sparse. Length, 4.3 mm. ; width, 35 mm." 



Unique type found in I^evette Cabinet but had no label attached. 

 Subgenus Olla Casey. 



3065. O. OCUlata Fab., 1792, Ent. Sysl., I, p. 287. 



Black, alutaceous, very obsoletely and finely punctulate ; abdomen red, epimera 

 white ; elytra each with an irregular red discoidal spot before the middle ; thorax with 

 the apical margin and sides white ; head white in front in male. 



Length, 4-5.5 mm. = . 1 6-. 2 2 inch. 



The original description of Fabricius is incorrect, in describing a 

 larger round white spot on each side the thorax, as pointed out by 

 Major Casey but clearly refers to this insect. 



Occurs in Southern States and Mexico, North Carolina to Cali- 

 fornia. 



Major Casey discards the name oculata for this species and divides 

 it into three varieties which seem in my series too inconstant to con- 

 sider well defined. They differ as follows : 



. Var. plagiata Casey. 



Apical margin of thorax not white ; elytral spot irregularly transverse, emarginate 

 internally at apex and externally at base. 



Type Locality : Texas, Arizona and California. 

 Many Texan specimens however have the pale apical thoracic 

 margin. 



. Var. SObrina Casey. 



Apical margin of thorax pale and with a median spur pale ; elytral spot triangu- 

 lar externally truncate, inner angle rounded. 



Type Locality : Florida. 



. Var. fenestralis Casey. 



Apical margin of thorax not pale, pale lateral margin incomplete ; elytral spot 

 semicircular, base straight.
