plateau, and about 2300 feet above the sea. Kanara on the other 
hand consists almost exclusively, of dense jungle, and while partly 
on the Deccan plateau, its western ‘portion forming part of the 
so-called « Konkan », extends to the sea ». 
With regard to the habits of the genera here treated of, ZZysia, 
Adalia, Hippodamia and true C'occinella are really Palæarctic, and 
probably do not occur at low altitude or in the Deccan; a great 
many of the rest as Coelophora, Verania, Thea, Chilomenes, etc. 
are I observe found sweeping and beating round the rice fields, and 
would probably be found wherever herbage harbouring Aphides 
grew.PBrumus, M Andrewes remarks, affects grass and low plants. 
The small hairy genera as Clanis and S'eymnus inhabit trees and cop- 
pice, while the Zpilachna it is well known are vegetable feeders, 
but their habits have not been well observed; Z'pilachna minima, 
was found under bark in December. 
1. Æysia endomycina Boisd. Var. A. Muls. — Chamba. 
_ Previously so far as I am aware this insect has only been 
recorded from New Guinea and Celebes. 
2. Adalia indica Crotch. — Dalhousie. 
3. Adalia indica var. elytris singulis nigro-notatis. — Chamba. 
À scarce variety, very suggestive of À. bipunclala, which 
however does not occur in the Tropics or in India at all. 
4. Cœlophora ramosa Oliv., Ent. VI, p. 996, t. 5, f. 61 ; Oenopia 
luteopustulata Muls., Spec. Col. Trim.sécur.,p.421 ; Cælophora 
luleopustulata Crotch, Rev. Cocc., p. 156; Cælophora Mariæ 
Muls., Op. IIT, p. 56; Anatis thibetana Mauls., Op. II, p. 46. 
— Chamba. 
. Hippodamia constellata Laich., Ins. Tyrol., I, 121; Crotch, 
Rev. Cocc., p. 97. — Chamba, Dalhousie. 
À very widely distributed and accordingly rather variable 
species. It is probably always found in elevated districts and 
has occurred in Europe, Asia, Africa, and has been pre- 
viously recorded from India. For synonyms see Crotch, 
loc. cit. 
54. Coccinella septempunctata Lin.. — Chamba. One remarkably 
small example. 
var. divaricala Oliv. Chamba. 
6. Coccinella repanda Thunb. — Belgaum, Madura, Kanara. 
7. Coccinella arcuala Fabr. — Madura. A single specimen. 
8. Ballia Mayeli Muls. — Dalhousie. Four examples variable 
in the number of elytral spots. 
Ballia Mayeti var. testacea Muls. — Elytra spotless. — 
Dalhousie. One example.
