CoCCINELLIDiE. 
Mulsant has commenced a monograph of the insects of this 
family by the publication of a first part, embracing the Cocci- 
nelliens of his system (Monographie des. Coccinellides, 
partie) . In the general introduction he divides the Coccinellides 
into the 2 groups Gymnosomides and Trichosomides , and the 
former into the families Coccinelliens , Chilocoriens, and Hyperas- 
piens. The first of these families includes 9 branches 
placed under 2 divisions, — the first of which includes the Hip- 
podamiaires, Coccinellaires, Halyziaires, Micraspiaires, and 
Discotomaires (and all the European species of the family ^^), the 
second the Cariaires, Alesiaires, CoelophoraireSj and Cydoniaires. 
The number of genera adopted is very considerable, but no new 
ones are proposed; the new speeies, of which a good many are 
described, are cited below. 
Coccinella, Kraatz (Berl. ent. Zeits. 1866, pp. 302-303) remarks upon 
several Spanish species of this genus. Mysia vogelii and mulsantii (Schauf.) 
are said to be varieties of C. ohlongoguttata ; C. inconstans and clatlirata 
(Schauf.) = C. variabilis (111.) vars. without keel ; C. lutea (Schauf.), if allied 
to C. pallida (Muls.), must be a Bul(sa^ or it may be a var. of C. variabilis. 
Kraatz also indicates the characters of C. {llarmonid) \2-pustulatay var. 
lyncea.
