  San 
  Diego, 
  on 
  the 
  open 
  ocean 
  shore, 
  June 
  ; 
  abundant. 
  The 
  variety 
  with 
  immaculate 
  

   elytra 
  is 
  about 
  as 
  numerous 
  as 
  the 
  type 
  : 
  the 
  only 
  intermediate 
  form 
  I 
  have 
  observed 
  is 
  

   a 
  specimen 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  marginal 
  spots 
  and 
  the 
  terminal 
  lunule 
  are 
  all 
  small, 
  while 
  the 
  

   middle 
  band 
  and 
  posterior 
  discoidal 
  spot 
  are 
  of 
  the 
  normal 
  size. 
  Baron 
  Chaudoir 
  men- 
  

   tions 
  that 
  " 
  in 
  this 
  species 
  we 
  find 
  the 
  Mexican 
  type 
  C. 
  decostigma 
  Ghevr. 
  (mexicana 
  King,) 
  

   and 
  navopunctata 
  Chevr., 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  distinct 
  ; 
  the 
  former 
  also 
  inhabits 
  Cali- 
  

   fornia." 
  

  

  With 
  this 
  opinion 
  of 
  my 
  learned 
  correspondent, 
  notwithstanding 
  the 
  resemblance 
  in 
  

   the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  thorax, 
  I 
  cannot 
  entirely 
  agree. 
  The 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  spots 
  of 
  the 
  ely- 
  

   tra 
  proves 
  that 
  the 
  relations 
  are 
  rather 
  with 
  C. 
  rufiventris, 
  Hentzii, 
  &c. 
  than 
  with 
  C. 
  de- 
  

   costigma 
  : 
  C. 
  navopunctata 
  (which 
  is 
  really 
  C. 
  mexicana 
  Klug,) 
  has 
  one 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  

   present 
  group, 
  in 
  the 
  abdomen 
  being 
  partly 
  red, 
  but 
  to 
  produce 
  a 
  similarity 
  of 
  spots, 
  we 
  

   must 
  obliterate 
  the 
  terminal 
  lunule, 
  replace 
  the 
  discoidal 
  by 
  a 
  submarginal 
  spot, 
  and 
  de- 
  

   stroy 
  the 
  marginal 
  spot 
  behind 
  the 
  oblique 
  medial 
  fascia.

  Massachusetts, 
  Dr. 
  Harris. 
  Precisely 
  similar 
  in 
  form 
  and 
  sculpture 
  to 
  the 
  next 
  two 
  

   species, 
  and 
  indeed 
  so 
  closely 
  connected 
  with 
  them 
  that 
  the 
  three 
  might 
  properly 
  be 
  con- 
  

   sidered 
  as 
  races 
  of 
  one 
  species. 
  In 
  this, 
  however, 
  the 
  colour 
  is 
  almost 
  black, 
  the 
  two 
  dots 
  

   of 
  the 
  humeral 
  lunule 
  are 
  connected 
  at 
  the 
  margin; 
  the 
  middle 
  band 
  reaches 
  the 
  margin 
  

   and 
  is 
  dilated 
  into 
  a 
  short 
  line, 
  which 
  extends 
  forwards;

  marginal 
  spot 
  behind
