1004 ( ). Scymnus liebecki Horn, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, XXII, 



1S95, 89. 



Oval, convex. Head and thorax yellow, the latter darker in front of 

 scutellum ; elytra piceous with a narrow apical border, a small round spot 

 in front of middle, nearer the suture than the side, and a slightly sinuous 

 crossbar one-third from apex, yellow. Abdomen reddish-yellow, punctate. 

 Legs yellow. Length 1.2-1.5 mm. (Fig. 195, a.) 



I have not seen this species from the State. Part of Horn's 

 types came from near Elkhart, Indiana, and were probably col- 

 lected by R. J. Weith ; others were from southern New Jersey. 



S. myrmidon Muls., length 1.5-2 mm., is known from Pennsyl- 

 vania and Maryland.

1005 (3135). Scymnus terminals Say, Bost. Journ. Nat. Hist., I. 1835, 



203; ibid. II, 671. 



Oval, very little longer than wide. Piceous ; head, narrow side mar- 

 gins of thorax, legs and apex of elytra reddish-yellow. Thorax distinctly 

 narrower in front, the disk rather closely punctate. Elytra one-third longer 

 than wide, a little more coarsely but less closely punctate; abdomen yellow, 

 piceous at base or wholly piceous ; legs reddish-yellow. Length 1.5-1.8 mm. 

 (Fig. 195, c.) 



Lawrence. Clark, Perry and Posey counties; scarce. April 22- 

 October 16. 



1006 ( ). Scymnus paetitus Casey, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, VI, 1S99, 



158. 



Resembles terminatus but differs in color of thorax. Elytra broadly 

 oval, together scarcely longer than wide, the punctures closer than in ter- 

 minatus and the pubescence less conspicuous. Length 1.5-1.7 mm.

 scribed from Texas.
