Pronotum, closely and finely punctured. Elyira, closely and coarsely 
punctured. Ventral Surface, more sparsely punctured than elytra, but 
as coarsely. 
Length: 6 4mm.; 2? 450mm. Width: $6 3mm.; 9 3.50 mm. 
Type—é @ and cotype in my collection. 
Type locality Crescent City, Del Norte Co., Calif., May 27, 
1910 (Nunenmacher ). 
Varieties: A. With a small marginal black spot at one-third from 
base, another discal at one-third from base, and a larger at two- 
thirds. 2 
B. With two small spots arranged transversely at two-thirds the 
distance from base, the marginal one not touching and smaller. 
C. With the two spots of B joined forming a fascia. 
D. With two fasciae, one just before the middle and one at two- 
thirds the distance from base. 
I have a form of Adalia frigida Muls. from Br. Columbia 
that has almost the same markings as D., but in that species 
the spots slant backwards, whereas in Var. D., they slant for- 
wards. By the shape of the head and eyes, the more slender 
form, and the peculiarities of puncture, this species approaches 
C. tricuspis Kirby, but in regard to the form of the metacoxal 
line, it approaches C. trifasciata Linn. It can, however, read- 
ily be separated from the latter by its more slender and less 
convex form, by the coarse punctuation, and by the weaker 
claws. It seems to be a local species found in the swampy land 
of Del Norte Co.. Calif. 
Brachyacantha lengi n. sp. 
Color: & Black except head, front, anterior angles, and sides of 
pronotum, the side maculation not quite reaching the base; front and 
middle legs, knees and tibiae of hind legs, and five spots on each elytron, 
yellow. The five elytral spots are arranged as follows: a small hum- 
eral; a large, narrow, scutellar, not quite reaching the humeral; one 
more or less triangular marginal, facing the discal, just behind the 
middle; one discal at same distance but close to the suture; and a 
subapical a little larger than the others closer to the margin than to 
the suture or tips. Form, regularly oval, convex. Head, closely, shal- 
lowly, and finely punctured. Pronotum, closely and finely punctured. 
Elytra, punctured like pronotum. Ventral Surface, closely and much 
more coarsely punctured than elvtra
