2l6 J. W. ELLIS: LIVERPOOL COLEOPTERA. 



Coccinella 7-punctata, L. This, the large seven-spot lady-bird, used to 

 be very common in the immediate vicinity of Liverpool, 

 especially on the ground behind Wavertree Park, where the 

 exhibition now stands, but I have only met with it very 

 sparingly during the last ten years. 



Coccinella oblong-o-guttata, L. A very beautiful and variable species, 

 which occurs in abundance in the Storeton fir-plantations. 



Coccinella ocellata, L. Occasionally along with C. oblongo-guttata at 

 Storeton. 



Coccinella 18-guttata, L. Abundant with the two preceding species. 



Coccinella 14-giittata, L. I have a single specimen of this species 

 which I took several years ago, I believe, at Bidston. 



Coccinella 22-punctata, L. This pretty little species occurs abun- 

 dantly during some seasons, and is scarcely met with in others.
