Excerpt from Determinate Evolution in the Color-Pattern of the Lady-Beetles
The dorsal color-pattern In all the American species within these groups is given for the sake of completeness, although for some species but little variation data was obtainable. This fact, together with the necessity of carrying in mind the data of variation and distribution in discussing experiments upon any given species, has led me to arrange the presenta tion according to species, after this introductory section. Furthermore, this arrangement will be more advantageous for those whose interest in this contribution is primarily taxonomic.
