DRIMOSTOMINI, 
Genus Cosmopiscus, SI. 
This genus was described by Mr. T. G. Sloane in 1907 
(Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. xxxii. p. 371) for a unique specimen, 
€. rubripictus, Sl., taken by Mr. Dodd at Kuranda, Queens- 
land. Mr. Sloane kindly sent me a second example of the 
genus from the Kei Is., which he thought was probably a 
small form of his own species : I quite concur, as, apart from 
its smaller size and the fact that the ferruginous pattern on 
the elytra is reduced, it agrees with the description, 
In 1873 (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 283) Bates described 
Ceelostomus (Stomonaaus) platynotus tor a single ¢ ex. taken 
by Mr. Geo. Lewis at Nagasaki, in Japan: he was struck at 
the time by the unusual form of this insect, but left it in the 
genus Stomonazus. Mr. H. Stevens has lately sent me five 
examples of this species from Gopaldhara, British Sikkim, 
which I have compared with Bates’s type; the localities are 
comparatively remote from each other, and I anticipate the 
discovery of further specimens in the intervening Southern 
Provinces of China. ‘T'wo out of the five specimens are of 
the same size as the Japanese insect, but tle other three, 
which I cannot separate from them, are a good deal smaller. 
Yet another species, with testaceous markings, as in the 
genotype, has been found in different parts of Central India 
by Dr. Annandale and Mr. E. A. D’Abreu. Before de- 
scribing this and giving a few further notes on Bates’s species, 
I think it desirable to reproduce Mr. Sloane’s description of 
the genus, with such modifications as are necessitated by the
