180 CHILOMENES. 



Chilomenes triangulifera. 



Cydonia triangulifera, Muls. Spec. p. 438. 5 (T). 



Madagascar (Deyrolle). Mulsant quotes "Malabar" for this 

 species, but both Reiche's and Chevrolat's types were labelled 

 " Madagascar". 



Chilomenes inops. 



Cydonia inops, Muls. Mon. p. 286. 



Mulsant has ranked this doubtfully as a variety of C. trian- 

 gulifera. It seems to me to differ by a visible punctuation, an 

 oval outline and a generally lighter colour; the black external 

 margin is absent, the thorax has 2 small black dots on the base 

 and a black transverse mark across the disc, which may be 

 connected in other examples. L. 2|. India (Deyrolle). 



Chilomenes vicina. 



Cydonia vicina, Muls. Spec. p. 440. 7. 



Egypt, Nubia, C. Verde Isles, Senegal, Guinea, St Helena. 



Chilomenes unicolor, sp. n. 



Yellowish-testaceous, thorax with markings and suture of the 

 elyti-a narrowly black. L. 1| — 2 lin. Algeria, Egypt (Brussels). 



Very close to C. vicina, but smaller, elytra unicolorous, thorax 

 with the basal margin black, not reaching to the posterior angles. 



Chilomenes cuppigera. 



Cydonia cujypigera, Muls. Spec. p. 442. 8 (T). 

 Cydonia nilolica, Muls. Spec. p. 443. 9. 

 Chilomenes osiris, Mids. Op. vn. p. 63 (T). 

 Egypt (Deyrolle, Reiche). The extreme dark varieties look 

 very unlike the type. 



Chilomenes Isis, sp. n. 



Black; legs, body beneath, and epipleurse of the elytra testa- 

 ceous; thorax with the anterior margin narrowly, the sides broadly 

 yellow, disc with two converging lines. L. 2 lin. Egypt (Brussels). 



Very near C. cuppigera, and possibly a dark variety, but with 

 the lines on the thorax more oblique, the basal margin not yellow, 

 the sides more broadly yellow, and the elytra entirely black. Also 

 near C. osiris, but differs by the elytra being entirely black. 



Chilomenes sex-maculata. 



Coccinella 6-maculata, Fabr. Sp. Ins. i. 96. 20 (1781) T. 

 Che'domenes 6-maculata, Muls. Spec. p. 444. 1.
