100 AT) ALIA. 



Idalia Uvida, Mids. Secur. p. 44. 1 (184G). 



Europe, more common in the North. The thorax margined

Adalia M-fuscum, Mids. Mon. p. 35. 2 (T). 



Founded on an immature and unsatisfactory specimen. Oval, 

 short, brownish-yellow ; punctuation sparse, tolerably fine. Thorax 

 with the letter M in dark brown. Elytra clouded, but without 

 distinct markings. L. 1| lin. Ceylon (Deyrolle). 



Mulsant says (1. c. p. 36) that by its form it has analogies with 

 Harm, venusta !

Adalia Ludovicaz, Mxds. Mon. p. 3G. 3.

Adalia testudinea. 



Coccinella testudinea, Woll. Ins. Mad. p. 463. 455 (1854) T. 



Madeira, not rare on Hibiscus, etc. Closely resembling A. both- 

 nica; but distinctly larger, and more shining. The punctuation 

 appears to vary, as in some cases it is faint and obsolete, in others 

 similar to that of A. bothnica. It is of course impossible to unite 

 this with A. bothnica, but the differences are extremely minute 

 and all comparative, leaving the possible inference that this is a 

 better-nourished foi-m of the northern species,
