98 HYSIA. 



Adonia Corsica, Reiche, Ann. Fr. n. 299 (1862).

Adonia Krieclibav.mil, Muls. Mon. p. 30. 4. 



Europe, N. Africa, Madeira, Abyssinia, Siberia, Central Asia, 

 India. Generally recognizable by the pattern of the thorax, which i3 

 margined at the sides and in front with white, the anterior margin 

 emitting a sharp tooth in the middle, and two small discal dots, 

 one on either side, also white. The variety in which the anterior 

 two-thirds of the elytra is occupied by a design like a reversed 

 gamma with a small dot on either side of it, is particularly coa- 

 fusing. 



Mulsant, though he devotes some pages to an elucidation of 

 the varieties of this species, does not seem to have recognized it 

 when coming from unexpected countries. The two latter sy- 

 nonyms are based on description only, as the types do not appear 

 to exist at Munich, where Dr Gemminger has most obligingly 

 made every search for them. 



Semiadalia. 



g. n. (typ. inquinata). 

 Allied to Hippodamia, of which it has the coloration, punctua- 

 tion, form of the thorax, and general outline; it differs by the 

 complete abdominal plates and the dentate claws ; the thorax is 

 faintly margined behind. 



Semiadalia inquinata. 



Idalia inquinata, Mids. Secur. p. 67. 6 (1846). 



E. France, Switzerland, Styria, Hungary. This species is 

 very recognizable by the fovea inside the posterior anglo of the 

 thorax, which has several large punctures impressed in it. 



Semiadalia 11-notata. 



Coccinelle a nmf points noirs, Geoff. Hist. Ins. I. 322. 4 (1762). 



Coccinella W-notata, Schneid. Mag.f. Ent. 379. 54 (1792).

France, Germany, Austria, Dalmatia, 



Closely allied to the preceding, but without the fovea on the 

 thorax, or with very faint indications of it.
