312. COCCINELLA QUINQUE-SIGNATA Kirby.—Plate vii, fig. 1. Length 
of body 3 lines. A single specimen taken in Lat. 65°. 
Body oblong-hemispherical, very minutely and thickly punctured ; 
underneath black and a little downy. Head black with an acute white 
spot in the forehead between the eyes; antennae obscurely rufous, dusky 
at the base and tip ; prothorax black, anterior angles and intermediate 
streak white ; elytra tawny yellow with an abbreviated band common to 
both at the base, an oblique discoidal abbreviated band and apical dot, 
black ; four distant lateral triangular white spots mark the breast. 
313. COCCINELLA QUINQUE-NOTATA K7rby.—Length of body 3% 
lines. A single specimen taken in Lat. 54°. Taken also by Dr. Bigsby 
in Canada. 
]231.] Very like the last, but shorter and more hemispherical. Two 
subtriangular transverse spots between the eyes, apex of the nose, dot at 
the sinus of the eyes, and anterior angles of the prothorax whitish-yellow ; 
basal band of the elytra broadest at the suture, the two other black spots 
are of equal size and placed transversely, and each forms an abbreviated 
band, falling far short of the suture and the lateral margin, so as to be 
scarcely more than two transverse spots ; scutellar angle of the elytra 
paler than the rest : the breast has no white spots. In other respects it 
is exactly like C. 5-signata. 
314. CoccINELLA TRIcUSPIS K7rby.—Length of body 2% lines. 
Several specimens taken in the Journey from New York to Cumberland- 
house. 
Body black, punctured. Head with two irregular transverse yellow 
spots between the eyes ; antennae pale rufous, black at the tip : prothorax 
with the anterior angles and a slender portion of the anterior margin
