Psyllobora. 



Clievr. Dej. Cat. (typ. 20-maculata). 



Mesosternum entire, thorax faintly sinuate in front, punctua- 

 tion of elytra distinct and coai'se. Purely American in its distri- 

 bution ; it contains two or three very different types of coloration. 



A. L. 1^ — 2 lin., hemispherical or subovate, yellowish white 

 with a system of black or brown spots on the elytra; these take 

 four types, P. dissimilis, spots black, small; P. conjluens, spots 

 brown, quadrangular; P. rufosignata, spots triangular, elongate; 

 P. hybrida, spots triangular occupying the whole surface separated 

 by fine white lines. I have regarded P. dissimilis as the type, and 

 numbered the spots from the suture (two basal, three medial) ; the 

 upper apical spot is called sixth, then the sutural and external, 

 and lastly the lower really subapical spot. 



Psyllobora dissimilis.
