This genus, as indicated by Mr. White, should be 

 aaopted as distuict from Anoplognathus. It is at once 

 separated by the anterior tibiaj being simply produced at 

 the apex on the outer side, without any teeth on the outer 

 edge. The apex of each elytron is slightly produced into 

 a point.

Stigmodera jjubicollis, sp. nov. 



^rea, subdepressa; corpore subtus thoraccque griseo- 

 pubescentibus, rugoso-punctatis ; elytris obscure-piceis, 

 marginibus tenue flavis, fortiter striatis, interstitiis convexis, 

 fortiter punctatis, apicibus simplicibus. 



Long. 11 — 15 lin. ; lat. 4^—6^ lin. 



Intermediate between .S*. Parryi and S. Jiavocincta, 

 but very close to the former, from which it differs in being 

 rather shorter, less convex, and in having the thorax 

 bronzy, and thickly clothed with long pale pubescence. 

 The under side is bronzy, thickly pubescent, and rugosely 

 punctured ; the abdomen is very strongly and unevenly 

 pitted and ]3unctured, with the central line smooth. The 

 thorax is a little more than twice as broad as long, broadest 

 a little behind the middle, the sides gently romided ; the 

 surface corrugate, the raised portions smooth, the sunken 

 parts thickly punctured ; the lateral margins are flavous. 



The female has the apical segment of the abdomen 

 beneath evenly rounded ; in the male it is sliglitly trun- 

 cate. 



One specimen of this species has the flavous margin to 

 the thora^c almost entirely wanting.
