108 COCCI N ELLA. 



Coccinella fulvipennis. 



Coccine.Ua fulvipennis, Muls- Spec. p. 101. 9. 



Chili, Montevideo. Thorax with a yellow border in front, 

 connected with the discoidal spot in the & . Legs black. These 

 three species, confused with each other and with Cycloneda san- 

 guined by Dejean, appear to be very closely allied. They all have 

 a similar punctuation and differ only in the details of the thorax 

 and colouring of the legs. They seem to inhabit North, Central, 

 and South America respectively, and are perhaps geographical 

 races. 



Coccinella pnlchella. 



Coccinella pulcliella, Muls. Spec. p. 102. 10. 



Brazil; abundant. This embarrassing species might almost 

 equally well go with C. sanguinea, but it is perhaps best here. 

 Punctuation faint and sparse. 



Coccinella venusta. 



Coccinella venusta, J\Felsh. Proc. Phil. in. 178 (1847). 



llarmonia notulata, Muls. Spec. p. 83. 6. 



United States, Yucatan (Dupont). Surface finely alutaceous. 

 Punctuation coarse sparse, presternum compressed, mesosternum 

 entire, plates v-shaped. 



Coccinella ampla. 



llarmonia ampla, Muls. Spec. p. 81. 4. 



Mexico (Chevrolat). Allied to C. venusta; alutaceous, punc- 

 tuation rather close. 



Coccinella cyanoptera. 



llarmonia cyanoptera, Muls. Spec. p. 82. 5 (T). 



llarmonia viridipennis, Muls. Mon. p. 60. 8. 



Mexico (Chevrolat, Salle). 



C. viridipennis appears to differ only by the head being bluish- 

 green, and the elytra! spot does not seem to reach the margin, but 

 these differences are probably sexual. Probably in any case they 

 are both extreme forms of C. ampla. 



Coccinella ocelligera, sp. n. 



Oval, ochreoua yellow ; thorax shining, evidently punctate 

 with a small lateral dot and a well-marked discoidal M, not quite 

 reaching the anterior margin; elytra sparingly and finely punctate,
