Coccinella marginepunctata, Schall. Act. Hal. I. p. 2G0 (1783). 



Harmonia marginepunctata, Muls. Secur. p. 108. 1. 



Europe generally, on pines (except England). Punctuation 

 tolerably close and distinct; abdominal plates never reaching the 

 margin, ogival, mesosternum very faintly emarginate. 



Coccinella octodecim-punctata. 



Coccinella 18-punctata, Scop. Ent. Cam. p. 77. 241 (1763). 



Coccinella impustulata, Linn. Syst. Nat. p. 584. 40 (1767). 



Harmonia impustulata, Muls. /Secur. p. 112. 2 (1846). 



Coccinella rosea, De Geer. Mem. v. p. 378. 11 (1775).

Coccinella specularis, Bonelli Mem. Soc. Agr. Tor. XI. 182 

 (1812). 



Harmonia buphtlialmus, Muls. Spec. p. 90. 13. 



Coccinella contaminata, Menet. Mem. Pet. vi. 273, pi. 5. 16. 



Coccinella caucasica, Mots. N. Mem. Mosc. v. 423. 41 (1837). 



Coccinella viridula, Hampe. Stett. E. Z. xi. 356. 22 (1850). 



Europe generally (except England), Syria, Taschkend. 



C. contaminata, according to a specimen received by me from 

 Central Asia and agreeing with the figure, is certainly a variety 

 of this species; it differs only in colour. Punctuation strong, 

 coarse, and rather close; mesosternum gently emarginate, abdomi- 

 nal plates v-shaped. The entirely black varieties which have nob 

 infrequently a greenish tint are very puzzling at first, but the 

 narrow white border of the thorax always partially encloses a dot. 

 The process of the first ventral segment deeply punctate at its apex. 

 Epipleura3 continuous nearly to the apex. 



Coccinella Doublieri. 



Harmonia Doublieri, Muls. Secur. p. 118. 3. 



S. France, Italy, Spain, Algeria, Canaries. Abundant on 

 the Tamarisk bushes. Extremely close to C. 18-punctata and with 

 similar structural details.
