This variety, which has the elytra yellow, with only two basal 

 spots and the suture black, or with the suture and four spots 

 black, does not, as far as I have seen, occur in Europe or Siberia.

Nigro-cseruleus, nitidissimiis, pectore abdomineque ferrugineis ; elytris 

 subcseruleis, crebre distincte punctatis, macula rotundata discoidalisanguinea. 

 Long. 6 millim. 



Hah. China: Kiu-kiang (Praii). 



Allied to Cliilocorus cacti, rather smaller than average speci- 

 mens of that species, and with the red elytral spot much smaller 

 than usual in C. cacti. It is also to be distmguished by the 

 distinct punctuation, as well as by the blue tmt, which is 

 especially noticeable on the elytra. The margin of the elytra is 

 expanded to about the same degree, or perhaps a little more than 

 in C. cacti. 



Many examples of this pretty Chilocorus were captured by 

 Mr. Pratt. 



24. Epilachna insignis, n. sp.

Very like E. admirabilis, Crotch, but much larger, and in
