COCCINELLID^.

'pides (antennae short, epipleura deeply foveolate for the femora, 7 
ventral segments apparent in ^ ) ; V. Scymnides ; YI. Exoplectrides 
(“ quite heterogeneous”), with groups Ortalice, Azyce, and Exoplectroi ; YII. 
Rhizohiides (eyes coarsely granulated, except in Poria ; antennae long, 
anterior coxal cavities open), of which 6 genera form “ Tribe 3, Discoto- 
mides ” (p. 15), stated, p. 302, to be one of the most distinct among the 
CoccinelUdm^ of oblong depressed form, with generally serrate antennae, 
G ventral segments, and open anterior cotyloid cavities. There is evi- 
dently a contradiction in these statements as tq the value to be attributed 
to this group. 
The number of species discussed is 1311, of which .‘’3 are doubtful 
and 239 now ; the total number of genera is 137, of which 21 are briefly 
characterized as new, including Eiiseladia, brought forward Vjy the author 
in his synonymic list [Zool. Rec. viii. p. 32^] with several other genera, 
all of which are, with the exception of that genus, considered as thereby 
established. It is not possible here to reproduce the very numerous 
synonyms (chiefly of Mulsant’s species) established or suggested by the 
author. The following observations occur : —

Tlio following new genera and species arc characterized (in all cases 
very briefly) : — 
Semi\ot]adalia, p. 98. Differs from IIi 2 )podamia in its complete ab- 
dominal plate and dentate claws. Type, Idalia inquinata, Muls. ; also 
Coccinella W-notata, Schn. 
Xantlmdalia, p. 99. Differs from Harmonia in the abdominal plates 
covering only half the segment, and often complete, &c. Type, H. som- 
mieri^ Muls. ; also II. rufescens, Muls. 
■Lioadalia \_Liad-\ p. 103. Differs from Adalia in its extremely fine 
obsolete punctuation. Type, Cocc. jlavo-maculata. Deg. ; also Micraspis 
signifera, Rche., Adalia luteo-piicta and gemmingeri, Muls., and L. inter- 
media, sp. n., p. 103, Abyssinia.
