19121 Cockerell-Some Bees from Guatemala 105 like Adalia bipunctata Linn.
The head is black with one white
spot near each eye, the clypeus, especially in the male, is often more or less white. The prothorax is black with a large white spot on each side of the anterior angles. The elytra, yellowish red, distinctly punctate, with a somewhat inverted heart-shaped scutellar spot and four spots on each elytron, one at humeral umbone, two slightly above middle placed in an oblique line and two slightly below middle. The var. menetriesi Muls., which may occur in our Northwestern territory, differs from the typical form in having the lateral margin of prothorax from apex to base and also the anterior margin narrowly white.
