2(3 Mr. G. Lewis on 



Ilab. Kawasaki, near Kobe* ; a small series found under 

 reeds in September. Also at Niigata and Honjo in Tokio. 



Hippodamia 13-punctata, Linngeus. 



Coccinella tredecimpunctata, Linn. Syst. Nat. p. 336 (1758). 

 Hab. Kawasaki and Nikko ; two examples only. Common 

 in Europe and some parts of Siberia. 



Coccinella 12-maculata, Gebler. 



Coccinella duodecimmaculata, Gebl. Mem. Mosc. ii. p. 76 (1832). 



Crotch says the prosternal process is raised (Rev. Coc 

 p. 110), but in two specimens I have examined it is flat and 

 bistriate ; this character is therefore not constant, although I 

 have seen it in Chinese examples. 



Hab. Kashiwagi. Two examples only. 



Coccinella 8-maculata, Fabricius. 

 Coccinella octomaculata, Fabr. Spec. Ins. i. p. 97 (1781). 

 In my former list the synonymic name of C. arcuata, F., 

 1787, was used. 



Hab. Nagasaki. Four examples. 



Coccinella 7-punctata, Linnaeus. 



Coccinella septempunctata, Linn. Syst. Nat. p. 365 (1758). 



In Crotch's ' Revision ' this species and C. Bruckii, Muls. 

 1866, are considered to be distinct species; but in a note 

 Crotch says that the specimens from Japan " seem to afford 

 a passage to C. 7-pvnctata, Linn." My series from Japan 

 consists of both forms, and I think that C. Bruckii, Muls., 

 is only a varietal name. 



Hab. All the islands. Very common. 



Coccinella transversoguttata, Faldermann. 

 Coccinella transversoouttata, Fald. Me"rn. Ac. Petr. ii. p. 454 (1835). 



This species was first described from Siberia. Specimens 

 from Eastern Asia and Japan are very finely but clearly 

 punctulate on the thorax and elytra. I have some examples 

 in the Gorham collection from Mexico (a locality given by 

 Crotch, Revis. p. 116), in which this punctuation is obsolete. 



Hab. Niigata, Hakodate, and Sapporo.
