Genus COSMODISCUS, SI. 



This genus was described by Mr. T. G. Sloane in 1907 

 (Proc. Linn. See. N.S.W. xxxii. p. 371) for a unique specimen, 

 C. rubripictus, Si., taken by Mr. Dodd at Kuranda, Qiieens- 

 land. Mr. Sloane kindly sent nie a second example of the 

 genus from the Kei Is., which he tliought was probably a 

 small form of hia 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 lb73 (Trans. Ent. Soc. Loud. p. 26'd) Bates described 

 Coelostotnua (StomoJiaxus) platt/nolus for 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 Stomonaxus. Mr. II. Stevens has lately sent me five 

 examples of this species fronj Gopaldhara, British Sikkim, 

 which 1 have compared with Bates's type; tlie localities are 

 comparatively remote fruin each other, and I anticipate the 

 discovery of further specimens in the intervening Southern 

 Provinces of China. Two out of the five specimens are of 

 tlje same size as the Ja[)anese insect, but the other three, 

 which I cannot separate from them, are a good deal smaller. 



Yet another s|jecios, with te;;taceous markings, as in the 

 genotype, has been found in ililferent jiarts of Central India 

 by Dr. Annandale and Mr. E. A. D'Abreu. Before de- 

 scribing this and giving a few lin ther notes on Bates's species, 

 I think it desirable to reproduce 3Ir. Sloane's ilescription of 

 the genus, with such modilicaliuns as arc necessitated by the
