Genus Stibaeopus. 

 Stiharopus molginus. 



Scaptocoris molginus, Schiodte, Kroyer's Nat. T dsskr. (2) ii. p. 481 



(1849). 

 Stiharopus brunneiis, Dall. List Hem. i. p. 125, t. iii. f. 1 (1851). 

 Stibaropus latipes, Atkins, (nee Westw.) J. Asiat. Soc. Beng. vol. Ivi. 



pt. 2, p. 39. n. 27 (1888). 

 Stibaj-optis molginus, Atkins, loc. cit. p. 39. n. 23. 



Confusion has arisen with this species, owing apparently to 

 the description of the second joint of the antennaj " longer by 

 half than the third." The second joint is, however, very 

 small, as described by Dallas — one of the generic characters. 

 I have Atkinson's specimens before me, which he identified as 

 S. molginus^ and in these the antenna? agree in structure with 

 Dallas's description and type. Signoret further complicated 

 matters by placing the S. hrunneuSj Dall., as a synonym of 

 the species described by Westwood as Cydmis latipes^ which, 

 however, does not belong to Stibaropus but to the genus 

 Scoparipes. 



Stibaropus minor. 



Stibaropus minor, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 1G6. n. 2 (1867). 

 Stiharopus testaceus, Walk. loc. cit. p. 166. n. 3. 



Stibaropus Jlauidus^ Sign. Ann. Soc. Eat. Fr. S(5r. 6, t. i. p. 47, pi. ii. 

 f. 6 (1831). 



Most probably also one of Schioclte's species, S. tabulatus 

 or S. callidusy but impossible to determine trom the description 

 alone of those species. 



Genus Adrisa. 

 Adrisa ? hinotata. 

 Acatalectus binotatus, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 165. n. 8 (1867). 



This species is alone represented by the type specimen, 

 which possesses neither head nor thorax. As it was also 

 unlocalized, the species (?) should be considered as non- 

 existent. 



Adrisa ? dara. 

 Acatalectus clams, Walk. Cat. Het. iii, p. 535 (1868). 



This species is not represented in the National Collection, 

 the type specimen being recorded as in the National Museum, 

 Melbourne.
