subtus sparsim minus subtiliter punctulato ; segmento ven- 
trali apicali (?maris) crebre fortiter punctulato. Long., + 1.; 
lat, 2 1. (vix). 
This species is very easily recognisable by its markings, con- 
sisting of a longitudinal series of three pale testaceous spots on 
each elytron.

BUCOLINUS, gen. nov. (Coccinellidarum ). 
Corpus pubescens ; oculi minus subtiliter granulati sat paralleli ; 
clypeus antice truncatus; antennze ad basin apertz elongate 
robust 1l-articulate ; prosternum sat breve, antice trans- 
versim leviter convexum vix depressum nec carinatum ; 
scutellum modicum; lamelle abdominales integre fortiter 
transverse postice segmenti basalis ventralis apicem fere 
attingentes; elytrorum epipleurve leviter concave longe pone 
elytrorum medium continuatz, contra pedes intermedios et 
posticos foveolatze ; corpus subtus ad femorum receptionem 
leviter excavatum ; unguiculi appendiculati. 
The species for which I propose this name has very much the 
appearance of Bucolus, but though it is certainly near that genus 
structurally, it cannot be placed in it. According to Dr. Chapuis, 
the essential character of the Bucolites is a combination of the 
following,—antenne exposed at the base, epipleurz foveolated, 
body pubescent. The present genus presents this combination, 
and agrees with Bucolus in the following characters (by which 
Dr. Chapuis separates Bucolus from the other genera of the 
group)—claws appendiculate, abdomen consisting of five segments, 
no fossa under the anterior angles of the prothorax. It differs 
from Bucolus, however, in the absence of a chin-piece (men- 
tonniere) in its comparatively long, stout antenne, which are 
almost like those of a Ahizobius, in its clypeus not being at all 
expanded laterally, in its simple tibiz, and in the different shape 
of its elytral epipleurz, which are not nearly so wide in front as 
those of Bucolus, and are generally narrowed hindward to near 
the apex (the evenness of their narrowing being not much dis- 
turbed opposite the hind coxze, whereas in /ucolus the epipleure 
are very wide in front, but suddenly become almost vertical,— 
apparently non-existent, opposite the hind cox). The eyes (as 
in Bucolus) are evidently less finely granulated than in Scymnus, 
but very much less coarsely than in Rhizobius. The abdominal 
lamellee are very much like tnose of Aucolus, but do not quite so 
nearly reach the hind margin of the basal ventral segment.
