Mo. vii. pp. 1-19. It reached the Atlantic seaboard in 1874, four years 
earlier than predicted, and is now reported from various maritime pro-

usual in Missouri, and did less harm in Colorado than in the Mississippi 
Valley.

The species is a Leptinotarsa^ and not a Doryphora ; J. Putzeys, CR. 
Ent. Belg. xviii. p. xxxv. Cf. also E. v. Harold, C. H. xiii. p. 184. In 
spite of wanting the mesosternal point, it is more closely allied to Dory- 
phora^ especially in its maxillary palpi, than to any other genus or 
group : Poly gramma^ Chevr., to which Melsheimer refers it, is founded 
on mere coloration : Myocoryna^ Stal, is preoccupied by Dejean in the 
same family, and, if a new sub-generic name is required, Thlihocoryna is 
proposed (p. 17, note) : various ridiculous errors of E. A. Carriere in 
the ‘ Revue Horticole ’ are criticized ; C. V. Riley, 1. c. pp. 16-19
