elytral design less developed, consisting of a fine straight vitta from the callus to 

 the middle at apical fourth, where it is slightly dilated internally, each also with 

 a small elongate dark spot near the vitta internally at two-fifths, and another at 

 three-fifths from the base at the lateral margin and remote from the vitta. 

 Length 4.0 mm. ; width 3.0 mm. Hudson Bay hudsonica, sp. now 



The last of these is quite distinct from the other two in the more 

 depressed form and in the displacement of the small postero-external 

 spot with reference to the dark vitta ; it also has the suture finely black 

 throughout. 



Anisocalvia Crotch. 



The type of this genus is the European 14-guttata, which is erro- 

 neously referred to Harmonia in our lists; it is more narrowly oblong 

 than any of our species and has the upper surface brownish-orange in 

 color, the elytra with fourteen small rounded paler yellow spots. The 

 pronotum has a longitudinal impression along the sides, close to, but 

 independent of, the concave margin caused by the reflexed edge. The 

 body is evenly oval, moderately convex, with rather narrowly reflexed 

 side-margins, becoming broader around the base of the callus ; the 

 punctures are coarse and unequal and the mesosternum quite deeply 

 sinuate, the presternum bilineate. Our species may be distinguished 

 as follows : — 



Elytra black, or black with pale spots 2 



Elytra pale, with eleven large rounded or oval black spots, of which three are on the 

 suture, the one at the apex transverse 3 



2 — Body in the female black, the pronotum but little more than twice as wide as long, 

 black with a narrow apical and lateral margin and median line pale, the sides 

 feebly convergent, rounding and more convergent at apex ; elytra black through- 

 out, with the reflexed side-margin pale; beneath black, the epipleune pale.

Body in the female less broadly oval, black, the pronotum with a narrow apical and 

 lateral margin and a fine median line not attaining the base pale ; sides rather 

 strongly convergent, evenly and broadly arcuate from base to apex, the disk dis- 

 tinctly more than twice as wide as long, strongly, moderately closely punctured ; 

 elytra black, with a fine side margin, toward apex only, paler, and a rounded 

 discal pale spot near the suture and two-thirds from the base ; femora black ; 

 epipleune piceous-black, the abdomen pale around the entire limb ; in the male 

 the body is similar, the pronotum similarly colored, but the elytra have fourteen 

 pale spots, that near the suture and apical third being the largest and with its 

 postero-external margin nubilate, the legs and epipleuroe pale throughout, the 

 latter slightly black opposite the back areas of the upper surface, the abdomen 

 pale, clouded with blackish toward the middle and base. Length 5.2 mm. ; 

 width 4.0 mm. British Columbia victor iana, sp. nov.
