This species is extremely like Stagmodera bella, Saund., in shape 
and sculpture; so much so that it would be difficult to specify 
any difference in these respects, except that each elytron is ter- 
minated by two almost equal teeth, that the head is more elongate, 
and the ventral segments somewhat differently sculptured. The 
markings of the elytra are very different from those of S. bella, 
consisting of a very wide common testaceous fascia commencing 
nearer to the base than that of S. bel/a, and extending nearly to 
the middle of the elytra, with both its front and hind margin 
sinuous, and a testaceous spot on each elytron considerably before 
the apex (nearly round in the male example before me, trans- 
versely elongate in the female), touching neither lateral margin 
nor suture.

Resembles S. Burchelli, L. and C. in size and shape, and in the 
puncturation, &c., of the upper surface ; differing from it, how- 
ever, in the angulate sinuation of the base of the elytra, in the 
denticulate sides of the elytra near the apex, and the much 
smaller apical emargination of the same. The dark fasciz on the 
elytra are as follows:—A narrow bright-green base, a greenish-
