Type.—é in my collection. 
Type locality—Weitchpec, Humboldt Co., Calif. (on oak), 
May 20, 1911 (Nunenmacher). 
The metacoxal line in this species curves to meet the first 
ventral suture, runs with it a short distance, then curves for- 
ward and stops just as it clears the suture. In Mr. Leng’s 
table, it will fall in his fourth group and near fenyesi, having 
the fifth ventral segment strongly excavated. The spine on 
the anterior tibia is small, about as wide as long, appearing as 
an acute triangle. I dedicate this to my friend, Mr. C. W. 
Leng, in recognition of his able work on this group. 
Hyperaspis idae n. sp. 
@ Calor, shining black throughout except the elytra, which have 
three red spots arranged as follows: a semi-circular marginal about 
its own width from base and with its straight side touching the mar- 
gin; a small rounded discal placed just before the middle and closer 
to the suture than to the margin; and a subapical one the same size 
as the discal, nearer the margin than the suture or tip. Form, broadly 
oval, feebly convex. Head, finely punctured. Pronotum, slightly more 
coarsely and closely punctured than the head. Elytra, punctured like 
pronotum. Ventral Surface, closely and coarsely punctured. 
Length: 9 2.25 mm. Width: 2.50 mm. 
Type—g®@ and one cotype 2 in my collection. 
Type locality—Humboldt Co., Calif., April 25, r911 (Nu- 
nenmacher). 
Geo. Dist—Humboldt Co., Calif., one specimen; Guernevill, 
Sonoma Co., Calif., May 30, 1908, one specimen (Dr. F. E. 
Blaisdell). 
This species is closely related to lateralis Muls. The form 
of the metacoxal line in this species leaves a space between it 
and the first ventral suture whereas in lateralis it touches the 
first ventral suture. The two specimens before me were taken 
in different places but are identical in every regard. 
Hyperaspis falli n. sp. 
$ Color, deep snining black except the head and anterior angles 
of pronotum, which are yellow, and the front pair of legs, tibiae and 
tarsi of the others, which are dark testaceous. Form, broadly oval, 
feebly convex. Head, very finely and closely punctured. Pronotum,
