270 THE INSECTS OF GAYNDAH, 



in double distant rows at the base, and very minutely punctate 

 towards the apex, with the basal portion marked with small 

 patches of white and yellow pubescence, with an intervening 

 smooth patch, with a broad post-median fascia of golden yellow 

 pile changing in some lights to an olive green, and with the 

 apex clothed in the same way. Basal half of thighs yellow. 

 Tibiffi and tarsi reddish brown. 



524. — Stigmatiom LiEVius. n. sp. 

 Length 4 lines. 

 This species is of a much flatter and less robust form than 

 the last, and seems from the description to approach very nearly 

 to an insect from Prince of Wales Island described by Professor 

 Westwood under the name of Omadins olivaceus. 



The upper and under surface is of a subnitid piceous brown 

 with the exception of the basal joints of the antennae, the palpi, 

 the basal portions of the thighs, the tibiae and the tarsi, which 

 are reddish. The head and thorax are covered with yellowish 

 hair interspersed with strong setae. Elytra flat, broadest about 

 the middle, substriate, thinly punctate, and setose in rows, with 

 the basal half covered with pale yellow pubescence, and with an 

 irregular fascia behind the middle and the apex similarly marked. 

 Hind legs long. 



525. — Stigmatidm ventrale. n. sp. 

 Length 3 lines. 

 Black, densely punctate, hairy. Head clothed in front with 

 white hairs and on the top with a golden yellow pubescence. 

 Thorax with the sides flavo-pubescent. Elytra striato-punctate, 

 setose,— the set^ on the sides white — and granulose with a large 

 chocolate coloured patch in the middle which extends near the 

 sides to the humeral angles and is bordered by whitish hairs, 

 and an irregular semi-circular patch and the apex cinereo- 

 pubescent. The meta-thorax and abdomen are red. The legs 

 reddish brown.
