Major Casey does not consider our species identical with the Euro- 

 pean /^-^j^v^/ArA? (see this Journal, Vol. VII, p. 96) ; but the differences 

 he names are not constant in the specimens before me and I prefer to 

 adhere to the name used in the check list.

This name must be dropped. The description is too imperfect 

 for recognition.

Kirby.] 



Convex, subhemispherical, black ; head black, clypeus in front, labrum and the 

 border of the eyes testaceous ; thorax and elytra distinctly and closely punctate with 

 their epipleura testaceous (or pinkish-white alive) and marked with black; tibis, 

 tarsi, sides of ventral and the whole of the anal segments testaceous ; thorax with 

 two large black discoidal marks, leaving only a thin marginal and medial line pale ; 

 elytra with two common (one subscutellar, one toward the apex) and five other spots 

 black (one subbasal, two rounded almost contiguous medial, one on the apical third, 

 one triangular apical). Length, 5-5.5 mm. =^ .20-. 22 inch. 



Occurs at Lake Superior, Hudson's Bay, Siberia, British Columbia. 

 The following variety has been described : 



. Van elliptica Casey, 1899, 1. c, p. 97. 



Smaller and more broadly oval, prothorax relatively smaller, sides much more 

 strongly convergent, basal angles more broadly rounded, punctures finer and sparser ; 

 elytral spots much larger and narrowly separated, the two transversely placed at the 

 middle, generally confluent. Leogth, 4 mm. =.20 inch. 



Occurs at Hudson's Bay. 



Anatis Mulsant. 



- Metacoxal plate not divided, ventral line effaced externally ; presternum com- 

 pressed in front, process broad, prominent at apical margin ; elytra ( 9 ) '^^'^ small 

 sutural tomentose patch near apex ; thorax with pale sides and usually two basal pale 

 spots.

lata Say.] 



Very broad, rather convex, black ; head black, punctate, eyes emarginate by the 

 yellow antenniferous tubercles and two triangular spots on the front yellow ; thorax 

 and apical half of epipleura yellowish-white, posterior angles obtuse, alutaceous, finely 

 and closely punctulate, marked with a N-like discoidal spot and a lateral dot black ; 

 elytra yellow or reddish-brown alutaceous, closely and decidedly unequally punc- 

 tulate ; sides somewhat explanate, margin itself thickly reflexed, with a row of deeper 

 punctures ; legs, sides and apices of ventral segments orange ; meso- and meta- 

 epimera white ; elytra each with eight black spots, one scutellar, one on the callus, 

 three forming a medial fascia, and three a subapical fascia. Length, 6.5-9.0 mm. 

 = .26-. 36 inch. 



Occurs throughout the Atlantic region.
