 The following species are described at this time in order to 

 allow the use of the names in forthcoming economic papers.

 D. doryphorae by facialia not ciliate, at most some bristles on lowest 

 one-third; ocellar bristles vestigial or wanting; abdomen thickly sil- 

 very pollinose; front golden posteriorly; tegulae of ordinary size. 



Four males, Blacksburg, Virginia ; three reared from Lep- 

 tinotarsa dccemlineata Say, and one from Blepharida rhois

In studying material of this genus introduced into the United 

 States, it has become necessary to examine all the series in
