EPILACHNA. 75 



Epilachna undulata. 



Coccinella undulata, Thunb. Nov. Ins. Sp. I. 18, f. 27 (1781). 

 Epilachna undulata, Muls. Spec. p. 867. 139. 

 Cape of Good Hope (Chev. Hope, Mus. Brit.). 



Epilachna Eckloni. 



Epilachna Eckloni, Muls. Spec. p. 866. 138 (T). 



Cape of Good Hope (Copenhagen). Abundant in collections 

 from the Cape, bnt generally confused with the preceding, which 

 is much rarer. Punctuation close, uniform, coarse punctures 

 obsolete. 



Epilachna Smithii. 



Epilachna Smithii, Muls. Spec. p. 868. 140 (T). 



Cape of Good Hope (Hope). The specimen cited from the 

 British Museum seems to have disappeared. The very pruinose 

 nature of the pubescence and the intricate angular markings ren- 

 der it veiy distinct. 



Epilachna distincta. 



Coccinella distincta, Thanh. Nov. Ins. Spec. I. p. 17, f. 23 

 (1781). 



Epilachna, distincta, Muls. Spec. p. 871. 142. 



Cape of Good Hope, Caffraria; epipleuree of the elytra con- 

 tinuous to the apex. 



Epilachna Sahlbergi. 



Epilachna Sahlbergi, Muls. Spec. p. 872. 143 (T). 



Caffraria (Stockholm). The type (?) sent by M. Stal differs a 

 good deal from Mulsant's description. It is like E. distincta but 

 smaller, the elytral spots arranged thus; a basal band from suture 

 to callus (probably = two spots coalesced), two spots transversely 

 placed before the middle (one marginal, one near the suture), one 

 medial discoidal, two transversely behind the middle (forming a 

 rude letter x with the others), and a deformed apical patch. 



Epilachna Bomparti.* 



Epilachna Bomparti, Muls. Spec. p. 873. 144 (T). 



Senegal (Buquet). Elytra with nine black spots, 2, 3, 1,2, 1 ; 

 the spots are rather large, and the elytra thickly clothed with 

 yellowish pubescence. 



Epilachna Nyianderi. 



Epilachna Nylanderi, Muls. Spec. p. 874. 145 (T). 



Caffraria (Stockholm). The markings on the elytra are 

 irregular and variable ; the pubescence is coarse and very thick, so 

 as to obscure the pattern.
