by punctures ; there is a double series of punctures diverging towards the 
base ; and an oblique abbreviated one between these and the scutellum, 
as in many //arpalidae, &c.; the interstice between the double series is 
green at the base. There is a lateral series of punctures also as in C. 
Philadelphica. pee

lines. A single ® specimen taken in Canada by Dr. Bigsby. [Taken in 
Ontario. | 
Colour and sculpture of the body like those of the preceding species, 
from which C. Bigsbyana differs principally in having the sides and the 
anterior margin of the prothorax reddish-yellow ; the elytra are of the 
same colour, but the suture itself, especially at the base, a stripe parallel 
to it, a large humeral bilobed spot, the interior lobe of which is obtus- 
angular or broken, and several irregular dots and spots on the elytra are 
black-green. 
283. CHRYSOMELA MULTIPUNCTATA Say.— Length of body 4% lines. 
Taken frequently in the journey from New York to Cumberland House. 
[Taken in Canada. | 
Body, head, antennae, and legs ferruginous. Prothorax pale-yellow, 
with two posterior triangular ferruginous spots with a dot of the same 
colour between them ; the punctures of the prothorax are more numerous 
and smaller than in C. Philadelphica, &c.; elytra yellowish-white; suture 
and a confluent stripe circumscribed with the double series of punctures, 
diverging towards the base of the elytra, ferruginous; surface covered 
with irregular greenish dots and short lines, as in the preceding species, a 
row of punctures marks the exterior side of the elytra, the interstice 
between it and the margin is immaculate and impunctured, the rest of the 
elytrum being thickly covered with scattered minute punctures.

lines. A single specimen taken in Canada by Dr. Bigsby. 
Body between oblong and hemispherical, violet. Head punctured ; 
labrum without punctures: prothorax elevated in the centre to an obtuse 
peak, from the summit of which descend several concentric channels 
which run nearly to the margin, the interstices of which are punctured: 
scutellum violet with a green tint: elytra reddish, punctured, punctures 
scattered with some tendency to arrange into rows; three large dark
