A. 6-pustulata of Linneus. which last differs only in the presence 

 of an additional spot at the tip of each elytron. Careful compari- 

 son of specimens of A. 4-wiacw/a^a from England and France, and 

 the description in Weise's tables of European Coccinellidae (Zeit- 

 schvift fur Entomologie. Breslau. 1879), with our A humeralis 

 proves their identity. Specimens in my collection are from Wor- 

 cester, Southbridge, Chicopee. Mass., and Brattleboro, Vt. Two 

 specimens collected by Dr Geo. Dimqaock in Springfield, Mass., 

 ai-e of the form A 6-pustiilata. 



I also have a specimen with the red humeral and apical spots 

 present. but without the median pair of spots, thus corresponding 

 with the European variety, A. Simoni of Weise.

Under the above head it is intended to mention paj>ers received at the Acad- 

 emy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia pertaining to the Entomology of the 

 Americas (North and South). Articles irrelevant to American entomology 

 will not be noted. Contributions to the anatomy, physiology and embryology 

 of insects, however, whether relating to American or exotic species, will be re- 

 corded. The numbers in heavy-faced type refer to the journals, as num - 

 bered in the following list, in which the papers are published ; * denotes that the 

 paper in question contains descriptions of new North American forms. Titles 

 of all articles in foreign languages are translated into English ; usually such 

 articles are written in the same language as the title of the Journal contain,
