158 OENOPIA. 



Propylea ll-pimelaia, Muls. Sicur. p. 157 (1846). 



Coccinella tessulata, Scop. Ent. Cam. p. 78. 243 (1763). 



Propylea cony lobata, Muls. Op. vn. p. 146 (1856) T. 



Harmonia dionea, Muls. I Op. vn. 140 (1856) T. 



Harmonia ambitiosa, Muls. Mon. p. 72. 27 (1866) T. 



Europe, Siberia, China, Japan. 



The extreme varieties look very unlike the type ; having the 

 elytra of a clear ochreous yellow, with one or two spots only ; but 

 the form of the thoracic border will generally distinguish it. I have 

 seen some examples with the elytra entirely black. 



Propylea dissecta. 



Lemnia dissecta, Muls. Spec. p. 377. 1 (T). 



Lemnia mystacea, Mids. Op. in. p. 50 (1853) T. 



Harmonia Felicice, Mids. Mon. p. 57. 4 (1866) T. 



India, Shanghai. 



Very similar to Coel. Maria in colouring ; really only differing 

 in size from P. conglobata, of which it may be a tropical form. 



Var. mystacea. 



Like P. dissecta, but with only the first basal yellow spot re- 

 maining, enclosed with a black boi-dei-, the rest of the elytra of a 

 uniform reddish brown. N. India (Deyrolle). 



Var. Fdicioz. 



In this the basal spot has also disappeared. N. India (Dey- 

 rolle). 



Propylea Kehamse, sp. n. 



Oval, black, front of the head and legs pale ochreous ; thorax 

 with a narrow anterior margin, and the sides pretty broadly 

 ochreous ; elytra ochreous with three dentate interrupted black 

 fasciae, leaving six pale areola?. L. 2 lin. India (Fry). 



It differs at once frorn P. mystacea by the last areola being 

 really apical. 



Oeuopia. 



Muls. Spec. p. 420 (typ. addicta). 



Closely allied to Propylea, but the epipleurae are more inclined, 

 and the thoracic fovea more marked ; the antenna) are short. 



Oenopia addicta. 



Oenopia addicta, Muls. Spec. p. I--. 2. 

 Egypt (Deyrolle). Probably a variable species. 



Oenopia Sauzeti.
