104 Psyche [June
In regard to the Sarcophaga carnaria recorded in the New Jer- sey list I intended to have the name questioned, but it was in some way overlooked. The record is based on a large species (14 mm.) having black genitalia, and a long fringe of hairs on the posterior tibiae; it closely resembles the S. carnaria of Europe but lacks the anterior acrosticals and dorsocentrals. The species seems to be confined to the immediate sea-shore of New Jersey, and has also been found in similar situations at Chatham (June SO), Wollaston (September 5), and Plum Island, Mass. (July 17). The latter were collected by Mr. A. P. Morse.
The Sarcophaga "georgiana" of the New Jersey list is a large species (13 mm.) with reddish genitalia and a long fringe of hairs on the posterior tibiae. Whether it is the true S. georgina Wied. I cannot say as his description is inadequate. The latter is the proper form for the name.
COCCINELLA UNDECIMPUNCTATA LINN. IN
MASSACHUSETTS.
By CHARLES SCHAEFFER,
Museum of Brooklyn Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y. While ip Boston recently, Mr. Charles W. Johnson gave me two specimens of a Coccinella of which he had taken several, Sept. 5th in Wollaston, Massachusetts, for which he said he could get no name.
The species proved to be Coccinella undecimpunctata Linn. a European species given with the var. rnenetriesi Muls. in Hen- shaw's "Third Supplement to the Coleoptera." Mr. Casey, in his Revision of the American Coccinellidge in Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc. vol. VII, p. 71, omits the species entirely. Mr. Leng in the same publication vol. XI, p. 201, gives a descrip- tion and distribution of the var. rnenetriesi Muls. However, he said, that though it was described from California, the species should be dropped as there were no other records of its occurrence in America.
The species is an easily recognized one. The form is less convex
than the other North American species of the genus and more Psiffte 19:104 I1912). http //psyche enkliib ore/l9/KI-lLM him1
