Procula Douei, Muls. Spec. p. 417. 1 (T). 

 Coccinella bacchata, Muls. Mon. p. 83. 17 (T). 

 Jamaica (Buquet, Deyrolle). Why Mulsant placed this in 

 Coccinella I can hardly see. 



Callineda. 



Crotch, Cat. Cocc. p. 6 {typ. decussata). 



This genus is principally characterized by the antenna?, which 

 are rather short, with a three-jointed club, the last joint being very 

 large and set on obliquely so as to appear securiform. The elytra 

 are margined, and the whole form is that of Cycloneda. Meso- 

 sternum hardly sinuate, plates V-shaped, epipleurse continuous 

 nearly to apex of elytra. 



Callineda decussata, sp. n. 



Oval, convex, reddish-ochreous or ochreous; punctuation mo- 

 derate, sparse, surface alutaceous ; thorax with sides broadly whitish- 

 yellow, this colour edged with black, leaving the disc reddish ; the 

 elytra with a reticulating pattern, dividing each (when complete) 

 into five subequal areola?, 2, 2, 1 ; it starts from the callus and goes 

 down to about two-thirds, where it branches to right and left, the 

 branches being oblique ; previously at one-third it had emitted two 

 similar branches at right angles; sutural mai-gin very narrowly 

 black. L. 2 1 lin. Ceram, Amboina, Macassar, Kai, Bouru, Bat- 

 chian, Gilolo (Wallace). 



Callineda testudinaria. 



Daulis testudinaria, Muls. Spec. p. 300. 4. 



Australia (Deyrolle, Bakewell). 



Very like the preceding, but the external margins of the elytra 

 and the suture always edged with black ; the reticulation varies 

 in intensity and is often incomplete posteriorly; the two lines on 

 the thorax are angulated inwards, with the points towards each 

 other. 



Callineda sedecim-notata. 



Coccinella 16-notata\\, Fair. Syst. El. I. 370. 83 (1801).

 Callineda multipunctata, Crotch, Cat. Cocc. p. 6. 

 Sarawak (Wallace), Amboina, Java. Punctuation rather 

 closer. 



Callineda duplicata, sp. n. 



Bright ochreous, thorax ochreous, the base with two black 

 spots, disc with the letter V brown ; elytra with the margin, suture
