 meme couleur, couvrant les |. Elytres d'un roux jaune, ornees 

 d'une tache scutellaire et chacuue d'un point sur le calus et de 

 deux bandes un peu obliquetnent transverses et raccourcies a leurs 

 extremites noires." L. 2^ lin, California (Felix). 



[This appears to be C, trifasciata, with the basal band divided.]

E. Siberia, Japan, Greenland, Hudson's Bay, California, United 

 States, Mexico. I can see no appreciable differences in the speci- 

 mens before me except those of colour. The black spots vary 

 remarkably in their extent. The thorax has very rarely the 

 anterior margin yellow, and then very narrowly, so that it cannot 

 be confused with C. 9-notata, which is much more convex and 

 more obsoletely punctured. In the original Siberian species the 

 scutellar spot and the spot on the callus are connected forming a 

 transverse band ; in the variety Sedakovii the spots are much 

 larger, especially the discoidal one, and the scutellar spot is 

 rounded. 



The American form nugatoria is exactly like the type, but with 

 the humeral spot disconnected. The extreme variety califomica 

 has the elytra entirely pale. 



Coccinella subversa.* 



Coccinella subversa, Leconte, Proc. Phil. vir. p. 19 (1854). 



Hemisphserica, nigra, capite ante oculos albo (ore clypeoque 

 feminsB nigris) thorace Bubtiliter punctulato, lateribus rotundatis, 

 macula antica ad angulos quadrata, apiceque albis ; elytris dis- 

 tincte at subtiliter punctulatis, scutello nigro, et prsecipue macula 

 obliqua ad medium nigra notatis. L. *2. Oregon (Leconte). 



Very like C. califomica, but smaller and more distinctly 

 punctured. 



[If Dr Leconte has taken pale vars. of C. 9-notata for C. cali- 

 fomica then this may be a variety of transverso-gultata.]
