“types and otherwise, identified by me with O. medio- 
“ fasciatus, Westwd., and is so beyond all doubt, being a very 
‘‘ easily identified species. 
‘The redescription of a species from Perak as O.javanus is 
‘very futile, that name having been used by Dejean and 
‘‘ placed as a synonym of O. indicus in Gemm. and Harold 
‘Catalogue, teste Spinola. 
‘‘The finest and most conspicuous species, O. prioceroides, 
‘“Thoms., escapes notice altogether. 
‘“‘ Synthesis, we may remind Herr A. Kuwert, is an impor-

‘* Revision des genus STiGMATIUM. 
‘Under this title, in the ‘Annales de la Société Ento- 
‘“‘mologique de Belgique,’ Tome xxxviii., Pt. viii., pp. 398— 
‘“457, Herr A. Kuwert has published an analytical and 
‘‘descriptive paper of such species of the genus Stigmatium, 
‘“‘Gray, as were known to him. These are, apparently, con- 
‘tained: (1) in his own collection; (2) in that of the Honble. 
‘Walter de Rothschild, Tring Park (England); (3) in the 
‘“Museum at Berlin; (4) in the Museum at Vienna. Of 
‘however, the majority of species, either newly described or 
‘identified with described species, no clue is given as to how 
‘they have been identified, or by whom collected. Herr 
‘« Kuwert has made no attempt to identify the many species 
‘‘of this genus described by M. A. Chevrolat and myself 
‘‘ during the past eighteen years, although we have been well 
‘‘known to have paid special attention to the family Cleride. 
‘In 1876, Chevrolat published a very considerable contri- 
‘‘bution to the knowledge of this group, entitled ‘ Mémoire 
‘‘sur la famille des Clerites,’ in this paper ten species of 
“* Stigymatium from the collections of Boucard, Haag de Ruten- 
‘berg, Sahlberg, Sallé, etc., are described. In the same 
‘“‘ year, after communication with M. Chevrolat, I described in 
“«¢ Cistula Ent.,’ no less than 22 species with one new allied 
‘genus, ‘ Hemitrachys.’ Since then I have printed many 
‘papers on Cleride, in which reference to these species and 
‘‘some additions appear. The species thus described formed 
‘part of the world-known collections of Bates and Wallace ;
