104 Psyche [June 



In regard to the Sarcophaga carnaria recorded in the New Jer- 

 sey list I intended to have the name questioned, but it was in some 

 way overlooked. The record is based on a large species (14 mm.) 

 having black genitalia, and a long fringe of hairs on the posterior 

 tibise; it closely resembles the S. carnaria of Europe but lacks the 

 anterior acrosticals and dorsocentrals. The species seems to be 

 confined to the immediate sea-shore of New Jersey, and has also 

 been found in similar situations at Chatham (June 30), Wollaston 

 (September 5), and Plum Island, Mass. (July 17). The latter 

 were collected by Mr. A. P. Morse. 



The Sarcophaga "georgiana" of the New Jersey list is a large 

 species (13 mm.) with reddish genitalia and a long fringe of hairs 

 on the posterior tibiae. Whether it is the true S. georgina Wied. 

 I cannot say as his description is inadequate. The latter is the 

 proper form for the name. 



COCCINELLA UNDECIMPUNCTATA LINN. IN 

 MASSACHUSETTS.

 Museum of Brooklyn Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



While in Boston recently, Mr. Charles W. Johnson gave me 

 two specimens of a Coccinella of which he had taken several, 

 Sept. 5th in Wollaston, Massachusetts, for which he said he could 

 get no name. 



The species proved to be Coccinella undecimpunctata Linn, a 

 European species given with the var. menetriesi Muls. in Hen- 

 shaw's "Third Supplement to the Coleoptera. " 



Mr. Casey, in his Revision of the American Coccinellidae in 

 Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc. vol. VII, p. 71, omits the species entirely. 

 Mr. Leng in the same publication vol. XI, p. 201, gives a descrip- 

 tion and distribution of the var. menetriesi Muls. However, he 

 said, that though it was described from California, the species 

 should be dropped as there were no other records of its occurrence 

 in America. 



The species is an easily recognized one. The form is less convex 

 than the other North American species of the genus and more
