Coccinella ancoralis. 



Coccinella ancoralis, Germ. Sp. Ins. Nov. p. G20. 887 (1824). 

 ,, ,, Muls. Spec. p. 94. 3. 



Chili, Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, Brazil. Also allied to 

 C. areata, but shining, punctuation extremely obsolete ; the two 

 pale dots by the scutellum obviously represent the yellow spots of 

 C, areata. 



Coccinella arcula. 



Coccinella arcula, Er. Arch. f. Nat. xn. 182 (1847) T. 



Coccinella Petitii, Muls. Spec. p. 98. 6. 



Again allied to C. areata. Shining, scarcely punctulate, thorax 

 black, with a fine yellow margin in front and on the sides, two 

 yellow dots on the disc; elytra yellow with two black marks on 

 each, which taken together form two fascia? curved forwards (con- 

 cave), one before the middle enclosing two basal patches, one sub- 

 apical, prolonged along the suture to the apex. L. 1^ lin. Peru 

 (Berlin). C. Petitii differs by the greater extension of the basal 

 spot, and the presence of a small branch from the first fasciae reach- 

 ing the margin, which is faintly indicated in C. arcula. 



Coccinella Lucasii.* 



Coccinella Lucasii, Muls. Spec. p. 96. 4. 



Cordilleras (Paris). This species evidently belongs here. 



Coccinella eryngii. 



Coccinella eryngii, Muls. Spec. p. 100. 8.

Coccinella munda, Say, Post. Journ. i. 202. 1. 



Daulis munda, Muls. Spec. p. 324. 21. 



United States. The discoidal points of the thorax appear as 

 prolongations from the border in front ; the legs are pale red 

 (femora black in the $ ). Allied to C. eryngii. 



Coccinella emarginata. 



Coccinella emarginata, Muls. Spec. p. 97. 5. 



Mexico, Guatemala. Very near C. munda but with black 

 legs (anterior tibia? pale in the <? ). The discoidal spots on the 

 thorax not connected with the border.
