124 ANATIS. 



Anatis. 



Mvls. Secur. p. 123 (typ. ocellata). 



Antenna? longer than in Coccinella; plates terminal, incom- 

 plete, mesosternum deeply emarginate, epipleurae of the thorax 

 impressed, of the elytra acuminate (but reaching the apex); ventral 

 segments with the sides closely punctured ami impressed. Claws 

 with a broad basal tooth ; presternum compressed. The additional 

 species given by Mulaanfe (1866) have nothing to do with the 

 genus. 



Anatis ocellata. 



Coccinella ocellata, Linn. Syst. Xat. (1758). 



Anatis ocellata, Mvls. SU-nr. p. 133. 1 (1846). 



Coccinella hebrcea, Linn. Syst. Xat. (1758). 



Europe, Siberia. The variety hebrcea is commoner in Siberia 

 than elsewhere, but I have seen it from France and England. The 

 sutural patch of pubescence is a good character for this species. 

 The punctuation is close, evident, and somewhat unequal. 



Anatis quindecim-pnnctata. 



Coccinella l5-])unctata, Oliv. Ent. vi. p. 1027. 57, pi. VI. 83 

 (1808). 



Anatis 15-punctata, MnJs. Spec. p. 133. 1. 



Coccinella mali, Say, J. Acad. Phil. iv. 93. 2 (1821). 



United States, St Domingo (Olivier). This is one of those 

 representative American forms that it is very difficult to distin- 

 guish from the European : the elytra are more ventricose, but the 

 punctuation is identical ; the sutural patch of pubescence is some- 

 times present (var. signaticollis, Muls.) and sometimes not, but no 

 other difference exists between them. I have never seen any 

 variety like our hebroza. 



Anatis Rathvoni. 



Mysia Rathvoni, Leconte, Proc. Phil. p. 132. 1 (1852). 



"Lata ovata, utrinque fortius angustata, fchorace lateribus rec- 

 tis, maculis duabus baseos lateribusque late all>is. his puncto nigro 

 notatis, elytria piceu-ruhs, lateribus usque ad medium ezplanatis." 

 L. -4. 



Sacramento, California. 



Broadly oval, very convex, strongly narrowed before and be- 

 hind, so iis to be almost angulated at the middle on the sides. 

 Bead black with an obscure rufous spot in each side. Thorax 

 twice as wide as Long, Strongly narrowed in front, sides nearly 

 straight broadly margined; Mack with two basal spots and a very 

 broad lateral margin white ; the sides have a marginal black spot
