MICARIA, 305 



Seladia bicincta.* 



Seladia bicincla, Muls. Spec. p. 218. 4. 



Punctuation sparse, uniform, faint (but less obsolete than in 

 S. nigricollis). Mulsant lias made five species out of this, on 

 what appear to me very insufficient grounds ; but the species 

 is so rare in collections that no certainty can be arrived at ; still 

 the differences indicated are merely those of coloration, and in 

 almost every case the species are founded on unique types.
