RUPILIA. 
R. rugulosa, sp. nov. Ovata; subopaca, subtus magis nitida ; 
nigro-piceo, capite antice prothorace sternis et segmento 
ventrali apicali rufescentibus ; supra sat equaliter rugulose 
punctulatus ; prothorace quam longiori fere duplo (postice 
quam antice haud multo) latiori, latitudine majori ante 
medium posita, lateribus subangulatim rotundatis, margini- 
bus anticis et posticis late leviter concavo, utrinque basin 
versus sulco obliquo impresso. Long., 4 1.; lat., 24 1.

E. varicolor. Muls. From the description of Coccinella Kingi, 
Macl., it has appeared to me that #. varicolor is identical with 
it, and Mr. Masters has now done me the favour of comparing 
an example with the original type of Macleay’s insect, with the 
result of proving my conjecture right. J. varicolor, therefore, 
becomes a synonym of C. King?. 
NEDA. 
NV. bicolor, sp. nov. Late ovata; valde convexa ; nitida ; supra 
modice vix crebre punctulata ; capite antennis palpis corpore 
subtus pedibusque rufo-testaceis, pocrhonsee ba a angulis 
anticis anguste flavis) nigris. Long., 24 1.; lat., 2 21. 
This species is a Veda in Mulsant’s sense of the term. I am 
unable to discriminate the briefly-characterised sections into 
which Mr. Crotch divided it, but as I can find no structural 
character to separate it from JV. princeps, Muls., I presume that 
author would have placed it in Archaioneda. Apart from its 
entirely different colouring it is very like WV. princeps in miniature, 
having an exactly similar outline (which is very peculiar) when 
viewed from the side. The prothorax, however, is much more 
strongly transverse than that of WV. princeps, and is somewhat 
wider in proportion to the elytra. Superficially not unlike Synia 
melanaria, Muls., but differs in the form of the clypeus and other 
structural characters. The flanks of the prosternum are not 
foveated.
