118 STICTOLEIS. 



China, India, Java, Bali, Flores, Singapore (Wallace), Triton 

 Bay, Australia (Queensland, Sydney), Tasmania, N. Caledonia. 



Distinctly alutaceous, punctuation faint and sparse; colour 

 pale ochreous. Mulsant (1. c. p. 1022) proposed to restore the 

 Fabrician name " tra/nsverscMs " to this species; but has not done 

 so in his later works. 



Coccinella leonina. 



Coccinella leonina, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 87. 54 (1775) T. 



Coccinella leonina, MuLb. Spec. p. L28, 31. 



New Zealand; apparently not rare. This species has the ap- 

 pearance of being an extreme form of C. repanda, but I have never 

 seen any leads that would justify their reunion. 



Coccinella conformis. 



Coccinella conformis, Boisd. Voy. de VAstrol. p. G04. 24 (1835). 



Leis conformis, Muls. Spec. p. 261. 13. 



Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, Swan River. 



Surface alutaceous, punctuation distinct. Epi pleura? inclined, 

 but acuminate some distance before the apex, abduminal plates 

 Y shaped. 



Coccinella antipodum.* 



Coccinella Antipodum, White Ann. X. II. (2) i. p. CC (1849) T. 



„ „ Mn!s. Spec. p. 1019. 



N. Zealand (B.M.), Sydney (Stockholm). A variable species. 



Stictoleis. 



g. n. (typ. corypha?a). 



Differs from Leis by its ovate, very convex form, the elytra not 

 flattened out at the sides, the acutellum not sinuate before the tip. 

 The species are at present confined to Africa and are variable. 



Stictoleis coryphsa. 



Coccinella corypham, Guerin. Icon. R. A. p. 320 (1844). 

 Leis coryjJuia, Mnls. Spec p, 249. 7. 



Madagascar. The real distinction of this species is its obsolete 

 punctuation which is scarcely visible with a lens. 



Stictoleis Thonningii.* 



L,eis Thonninrjii. Mnls. Sjiec. p. '2~>7 . 11 (T). 



Guinea (Copenhagen). Here the thorax has only two spots, 

 basal ; the elytra has ftmr in each of the central rows (instead of 

 three) ; the punctuation is fine and obsolete, as it is in L. cory- 

 phcea, but a little more evident.
