PART II. 



THE DATA ARRANGED BY SPECIES. 



TRIBE HIPPODAMINI. 

 Genus ANISOSTICTA Duponchel. 

 4033. Anisosticta strigfata Thunberg. 

 Distribution: Northern States and Canada. 



Var. d'>li, -KI tin Mulsant. 



The subapical spot only free from the pattern of confluent spots. Typical specimens 

 rare in North America, but have been taken on Vancouver Island. 



Var. bitriangularis Say. 



Others than the apical spot free from the pattern of confluent spots. Most common 



in America. 

 Var. A. 



Spots all separate. Manitoba; Sand Hills. Nebraska. These specimens probably 

 represent. a subspecies, for a specimen showing nearly as much separation 

 came from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Specimens of the typical species of 



the variety dohrianu are rare. 

 Var. B. 



A specimen from Wyoming shows spots fused into two marks, except the juxta- 

 sutural spots, which are free. 



Weise records 2 specimens of A. novemdecimjninetctta var. 

 with 1, 2, 3 T i, 4 + 5, 6 -f the suture, 7 -f 8, 9 (his numbering) , from 

 Oregon. This throws some doubt on the specific distinction between A. 

 norcmdeciw.punctata and strigata. The difference in the elytral markings 

 are certainly bridged over by our variations. 



Genus NAEMIA Mulsant. 

 3034. Naemia scriata Mulsant. 



Distribution: Maritime regions of the eastern United States and south- 

 ern California. 



Form a. The spots separate, but^the apical spot meets the suture. 

 Form b. Some of the spots separate, others united. Mulsant says the separation of the 



third spot from the ground is most frequent, followed by the separation of 



the third from the fourth. 



Form c. Scutellar mark prolonged and extended to the second spot. 

 Subspecies of Florida: 



Pigment reduced, so that the spots are not confluent. In this it is analogous to the 

 subspecies floridana of Megilla mnculata. Pronotal pattern resolved to 4 

 spots in some cases. 



Subspecies litiginosa Mulsant. 



Specimens from Southern California in the Leng collection have the spots less con- 

 fluent longitudinally, but more so transversely. They also have the caudal white spot 

 on pronotum larger.
