Elytra rounded or feebly dilated at two-fifths, scarcely as long as wide, the sides gen- 

 erally evenly arcuate with pale margin, the spots not ocellated, the external at 

 two-fifths rounded, generally not or only narrowly prolonged laterally ; basal spots 

 of the pronotum slightly oblique, never united at base, the pale apical margin 

 bioblique, interrupted or very nearly so at the middle. Length 6.5-8.7 mm.; 

 width 5.5-7.0 mm. Rhode Island, New Jersey, Indiana, Iowa and Arizona

Elytra oval, not or scarcely appreciably dilated at two-fifths, rather longer than wide ; 

 submarginal spot at two-fifths geminate, the outer part enveloping the margin, 

 which is pale elsewhere with the fine thickened edge slightly darker ; spots all 

 surrounded by a broad pale border, the ground tint red-brown-; basal spots of 

 the pronotum short but rather large, angulate antero-externally, united at base ; 

 pale apical margin transverse and entire, not interrupted but rather broader at the 

 middle. Length 8.7-10.0 mm.; width 6.S-7.4 mm. Indiana, Wisconsin 

 (Bayfield) and Idaho (Cceur d'Alenej maH Say 



Elytra decidedly rhomboidal, scarcely as long as wide, strongly dilated at two-fifths, 

 where there is a small marginal spot ; remainder immaculate or with faint vestiges 

 of one or two of the spots of the preceding species, the punctures much smaller 

 and nearly equal ; basal spots of the pronotum large, much extended antero-ex- 

 ternally, unit ng with the lateral pale area and broadly united at base'; pale 

 apical margin transverse, not interrupted but rather wider at the middle. Length 

 8.3 mm.; width 6.9 mm. California (Siskiyou Co.) raihvoni Lee. 



3 — Elytra very broadly rounded or subrhomboidal, slightly more dilated at two-fifths, 

 scarcely as long as wide, the punctures strong but rather less coarse and more 

 nearly equal than in i^-pvnctata, bright brownish-red or ochre, without trace of 

 maculation but having the entire limb deep black, the border clearly defined and 

 scarcely occupying the entire reflexed portion, broadening a little at two-fifths ; 

 pronotum scarcely three-fourths wider than long, broadly, feebly convex, deeply 

 impressed just within the lateral margins, rather finely and not closely punctate ; 

 head black ; entire legs and under surface black, the epipleurne black in external 

 and red in internal half of their width from base to apex. Length 8. 7-10.0 mm. ; 

 width 7.5-8.7 mm. New Mexico (Fort Wingate) lecontei, sp. nov. 



It can be readily observed that 15 -punctata is not even closely re- 

 lated to the European ocellata. Signaticollis of Mulsant, I have not 

 seen, but it may be the same as matt Say. Lecontei somewhat re- 

 sembles the Mexican Pelina hydropica, but I cannot see that it differs 

 generically from our other species of Anatis ; the antennal club is ob- 

 ■ triangular with the three joints rather loosely articulated, shorter than 

 wide and but little more developed internally than externally. 



Neomysia.gen. nov. 

 In the shorter, more feebly emarginate prothorax, with more broadly 

 rounded apical angles, the present genus evidently approaches the 

 Psylloborini closer than any other of the Coccinellini, and this is also
