HIPPODAMIA. 9o 



Coccinella segetalis, Naez. Vet. Akad. Handl. p. 170, pi. vn. 1 — 2 

 (1792). 



Ilippodamia 1 ' -maculata, Muls. Spec. p. 15. 4. 



Germany, Sweden (not however in England, as Mulaant says). 



Hippodamia quinquesignata. 



Coccinella o-signata, Kirby, Faun. Bor. Amer p. 230. 512. pi. 7, 

 f. 7 (1838) T. 



Hippodamia 5-signita, Muls. Spec. p. 15. 5. 



N. America (B. M.). 



Mulsant separates this species as having the anterior angles of 

 the thorax alone white; but the specimens in the British Museum 

 shew that this extends downwards as in the other species, hence I 

 am disposed to unite with it the other shining species added by 

 Mulsant, and which agree in having a coarser punctuation, with 

 the alutaceous surface less visible. 



Var. extensa, Muls. Spec. p. 17. 6. 



Thorax with the anterior angles yellowish red. Elytra with a 

 fascia near the base, following the suture for one-fifth, and trans-

 gota (Leconte). 



Var. Midsanti, Lee. Proc. Phil. p. 131. 2 (1852). 



Thorax with the lateral and apical margins white ; elytra with 

 a basal fascia, a large oblicpxe spot behind the middle, and another 

 towards the apex. Lake Superior (Leconte). 



Var. leporina, Muls. Op. vn. p. 135 (1856) T. 



Thorax with a border almost interrupted in the middle; elytra

Hippodamia glacialis, Muls. Spec. p. 1 8. 7.
