race quam longiori et postice quam antice dimidio latiori,

Not unlike S. guadrifasciata, Saund., but much smaller and 
differently coloured; also the pattern on the elytra is different, 
the ante-median fascia being dilated (not contracted) on the 
suture, and reaching the lateral margins; it resembles the corres- 
ponding fascia in S. carmineu, Saund. (as depicted in Journ. 
Linn. Soc., vol. IX., tab. 10, fig. 32). The post-median fascia 
is very like that of S. 4-fasciata (as depicted loc. cit., fig. 39). 
The ante-apical fascia resembles the ante-median one reversed. 
All the fascize touch the external margins.

N.B.—I have seen an example (from N.S. Wales) of this 
species in which the anterior two fasciz of the elytra are both 
interrupted on either side on the disc, so that in place of those 
fasciz there are two large marginal or submarginal spots on each 
elytron placed opposite (but not joining), corresponding dilatations 
of the suture. It is just possible that this variety may be 
S. disjecta, Kerremans, although it does not agree well with the 
description, especially in colour, the underside not being at all 
coppery, nor the apical part of the elytra red; but even if it 
should prove identical, the form I have called S. 4-notata is 
certainly deserving a name as a var. 
S. dispar, sp. nov. Modice elongata; minus depressa; supra 
glabra, subtus sparsim breviter pubescens; lete viridis, 
elytris testaceis ; capite prothoraceque confertim subtilius 
punctulatis; illo medio longitudinaliter canaliculato; hoc 
quam longiori (et postice quam antice) dimidio latiori, 
lateribus fortiter rotundatis, basi media fortiter lobata, 
angulis posticis minus acutis; elytris punctulato-striatis, 
basi valde subangulatim antrorsum productis, apice oblique 
minute emarginatis et bidenticulatis interstitiis sat crebre 
punctulatis (alternis antice, omnibus postice, sat convexis); 
corpore subtus crebre, prosterno medio sat sparsim, punc- 
tulato. Long., 341.; lat., 121. 
The extremely brilliant green colour of every part, except the 
elytra—these being of a yellowish testaceous colour, without the 
slightest trace of any marking—will, I think, distinguish this from 
all the other Stegmodere of small size.
