 1865, 215. 



Oblong-oval, subdepressed. Dull yellow or pale brown, opaque ; pubes- 

 cence sparse, prostrate; thorax with three distinct black spots; elytra each 

 with three narrow piceous lines (Fig. 507, No. 2) ; antennae and scutellum 

 entirely black. 'Thorax twice as wide as long, distinctly narrower in front ; 

 sides curved, hind angles distinct; disk densely punctured. Elytra slightly 

 broader behind, tips obtuse; surface rather finely and densely punctured. 

 Length 5-6 mm. 



Throughout the State ; frequent. April 9- August 2. Taken by 

 sweeping herbage in low, moist lands. 



G. Integra Lee., dull yellow, elytra each with a subsutural and 

 three dorsal lines, length 4—5 mm., occurs from Pennsylvania to 

 Florida and Texas. 



*2162 (6909). Galerucella notulata Fabr., Syst. Eleut, I, 1801, 489. 



Oval, slightly oblong, moderately convex. Dull dusky yellow, sparsely 

 clothed with hue, prostrate, silken pubescence; thorax with three black 

 spots; elytra each with four narrow black lines (Fig. 507, No. 4), viz., a 

 sutural rarely reaching the base, a second oblique one on basal half, join- 

 ing sutural at middle.; a third, often entire, sometimes wanting on basal 

 half, the fourth starting at umbone and often joining the sutural ; apical 

 half of antennae and metasternum piceous. Thorax nearly twice as wide 

 as long, narrower in front, sides strongly curved, base on each side oblique, 

 surface coarsely, not closely punctate. Elytra scarcely wider behind, sur- 

 face closely punctate, more coarsely on basal half. Length 3.5-5 mm. 



Southern half of State; frequent. January 15-December 10. 

 Hibernates beneath logs and mullein leaves in sandy localities. 

 Rarely the seeond dark stripe does not join the sutural at middle, 

 though reaching the usual point of union. 



2163 (6910). Galerucella notata Fabr., Syst. 

 Eleut., I, 1801, 488. 

 Resembles the preceding, but the pubescence 

 is more sparse and the general color usually 

 paler. Each elytron is marked with a sutural 

 and three discal lines (Fig. 507, No. 5) ; of these 

 the sutural and the second discal reach neither 

 base nor apex, the first discal being short and 

 confined to the basal fourth, while the outer line 

 is entire. Punctuation of upper surface some- 

 what finer than in notulata. Length 3.5-5 mm. 

 (Fig. 508.)
