place of the single humeral spot in that species there are here 

 two large spots, one touching the hase between the scutellum and 

 the callus, the other below the callus and nearer the apex. The 

 two sutural spots, which in E. admirahilis form two spots 

 common to both elytra, are here almost, but not quite, distinct, 

 and the hinder pair are each pear-shaped. The punctuation is 

 coarser than in E. admirahilis, and the sculpture becomes vario- 

 lose near the central spot ; there is a costa, often very well 

 defined, running from the callus to the middle of the elytra. 

 The thoracic sj)ot does not touch the base, as it does in 

 E. admirahilis. 



About a dozen of this handsomely marked Epilachna were 

 obtained.

 China : Kiu-kiang {Pratt). 



Two specimens, agreeing very nearly with E. flaricollis or 

 E. incauta, which appear to me to be only varieties of one insect. 



26. Epilachna 28-punctata. 



Coccinella ^8-punctata, Fab., Syst. Ent. p. 34 (1775). 



Japan: Hakodate, Shimonoseki. Korea: Gensan (Leech). 



Taken abundantly. The specimens are mostly fine ones, and 

 typically marked, the thorax usually with three wedge-shaped 

 black marks ; sometimes, however, the whole disk is black,

Formosa (Leech). A small variety, suffused and with the 

 spots very indistinct in the general dark ground colour. Probably 

 a great number of so-called species, including E. 26-punctata, 

 will eventually be united as one morphological species.
