Allied to S. mutilkecolor, White (Tlllkera) l)ut smaller, and 

 to be distinguished by the red fascia near the apex of the elytra. 

 In the single specimen I have the 'elytra are entirely free from 

 scales, this, however, may be owing to abrasion, their base is 

 rugulose with rasp-formed punctures ; beyond the red portion 

 tliese granulations are visible as small tubercules to very near 

 the apex. Breast red, abdomen black.

Stiijuudlum vt'rxlpelle, n, sp. 



Oblongum, paralleium, tlavo-villosum, fuscum, elytris basi 

 granuloso-punctatis, versus apiceni densius tlavo-pubeseens, fascia 

 irregulari apicali quasi denudata, pedibus fuscis, femoribus basi 

 albidis, tarsis dilutioribus. Long. lin. ^'^i-H. 



Kather depressed, head and eyes brownish, villose, antenna; 

 hairy, scarcely longer than head and thorax, the latter pitchy 

 with shining yellow irregularly disposed pile. Elytra with the 

 basal portion rasp-punctured or granulose, the granules little 

 elevated, below the middle a large patch of bright yellowish 

 pubescence, extending to the apex, widest near the suture, 

 with small denuded tubercules, a dark irregular fascia, partially 

 denuded, before the apex. Legs brown, base of the femora 

 and palpi pale yellow. Underside pitchy.

Type 0. indlcas, Cast. 



Divergent as the typical forms of this genus are from Stig- 

 matiurn, the genera nevertheless shade off insensibly into each 

 other. The comparative width between the eyes being the 

 most constant character I can discover. In Omddlns tliese 

 organs are usually almost contiguous, while in iitiijninthiui they 

 are always separated by a nuri(jw Ijand.
