Extract

This paper offers a taxonomic arrangement of the forms of Coccinella L. that occur in the United States. Canada, and Greenland. Eighteen forms, which are arranged as 12 species, are considered to merit names. The forms of the United States and Canada were reviewed last by Dobzhansky in 1931. The arrangement proposed below differs from his as detailed in the summary that follows the taxonomic treatment. The principal difference is in the subspecies concept that is applied.
