144- ANISOCALVIA. 



on the thoracic epipleurae. It is chiefly Indian, and the species 

 seem very variable ; probably several of those described will have 

 to be sunk when more is known about them. Mulsant arranged 

 them in Ilarmonia, Calvin, Propylea, Verania, and GLnopia. 



Auisocalvia quatnordecim-guttata. 



Coccinella li-guttata, Linn. Sijst. Nat. p. 3G7. 22 (1758). 



Calvia 14:-guttata, Muls. Stair, p. 140. 



Europe, Siberia, Japan, Vermont IT. S. (B. M.). The black 

 Siberian varieties are very curious; the two American specimens in 

 the British Museum both belong to this variety. Specimens from 

 Japan are larger and finer, with the external spot of the posterior 

 pair much larger (var. jajwnica). 



Anisocalvia qnindecim-gnttata. 



Coccinelle a points et bordure blanche, Geoff. Hist. I. 327. 14 

 (17G2). 



Coccinella 15-guttata, Fabr. Gen. Ins. p. 217 (1777). 



Coccinella albomarginata, Goeze, Ent. Beyt. I. p. 420 (1778). 



Coccinella bis-l -guttata, Schall. Act. JFnl. i. 2G5 (1783). 



Calvia bis-7 -guttata, Muls. Secur. p. 144 (1846). 



Calvia septena/ria, Muls. Mon. p. 116. 3 (I860) T. 



Europe, Imeritia, Shanghai ; rare on oaks. 



The var. septenaria is larger and broader and the punctuation 

 is distinctly unequal, but otherwise they are identical. Mulsant 

 records a specimen from Cayenne (!) under the name guttij)ennis, 

 probably in error. 



Anisocalvia punctata. 



Ha/rmonia punctata, Muls. Op. in. p. 15 (1853) T. 



Oval, tolerably convex, body, legs, head, antennae and sides of 

 thorax reddish yellow, the rest shining black ; punctuation of the 

 elytra extremely unequal, the large punctures deeply impressed. 

 L. _! lin. N. India (Deyrolle). This is apparently the only one 

 of the unequally punctate species that struck Mulsant as being so. 



Anisocalvia obverse-punctata. 



Propylea obverse-punctata, Muls. Mon. p. 151. 3 (I860) T. 



Oval, entirely of a yellowish ochreous, punctuation extremely 

 unequal ; thorax with two black dots on the disc ; elytra each 

 with two black dots (one near the suture at one-fifth ami one near 

 the margin beyond the middle). L. 2| lin. N. India (Deyrolle, 

 Parry). Mulsant talks of another spot on the callus which is not 

 visible in the type.
