Epilachna punctipennis. 



Epilachna punctipennis, j&fids. Spec. p. 875. 146. 



Guinea (Germar), Angola (Welwitsch), Abyssinia (Munich). 



The Abyssinian specimens are more oval, and the Angola ones 

 appear always to have lust the third spot, but I do not detect any 

 other differences.

EpUachna 20-punctata, Muls. Spec. p. 87G. 147.

 Caffraria (Stockholm). Elytra with nine pale areola?, pubes- 

 cence pruinose. 



Epilachna adjuncta,* sp. n. 



Grayish-testaceous, thorax reddish, elytra thickly clothed with 

 a gray pubescence, a black line runs from the base to about two- 

 thirds, ending on the suture, it is produced inwards at half its 

 leugth, forming at the left elytron the letter E ; another line runs 

 from the callus to the apex, where it is bifurcate; these are joined 

 at the base, and a little beyond the middle, the outer one at this 

 point of union has an external process reaching the margin; thus, 

 each elytron is divided into five (or nearly six) areolae. L. 2£lin. 

 Angola (Welwitsch).

 femora, continuous to the apexi
