Genus. — Stenoderus, Deject h. 



The type of this genus is Stenoderus suturalis of Audinet-Serville, 

 the Stenocorus suturalis of Olivier, the habitat and synonymy of which 

 seem involved in almost inextricable confusion. 



Stenocorus suturalis, Olivier, iv. (Sten.) 29, tab. iii. fig. 29.

Audinet-Serville).

{Stenoderus „ Audinet-Serville, 'Ann. Ent. Soc' iv. 210). 



„ „ Laporte, 'Animaux Articules,' Ins. 499. 



These authors give the East Indies as the habitat.

( ? „ Fabricius, as quoted by Boisduval). 



These authors give Australasia as the habitat. 



I have not the slightest doubt that these four names indicate but a 

 single insect, although both Boisduval and Dejean give three distinct 

 species, without hinting that either of them may be identical with the 

 Stenoderus sutm-alis of Audinet-Serville, the black costal margin by 

 which the species are distinguished, being a most fugitive character. 

 The second species is St.grammicus, Newman, 'Ann. Nat. Hist.' v. 2L 



Natural Order. — Clerites, Newman. 



Mr. Walker has obligingly placed in my hands four very interesting 

 insects belonging to this order, from Van Dieman's Land ; two of 

 them appear precisely to agree with Hydnocera, previously supposed 

 to be confined to North America, each of the others may, I think, be 

 considered as constituting the type of a new genus.
