Genus Stibaropus. 

 Sitbaropus molginus. 



Scaptocoris molginus^ Schiodte, Kroyer'a Nat. Tidsskr. (2) ii. p. 481 



(1849). 

 Stibaropus bruntieus, 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). 

 Stibaropus molginus, Atkins, loc. cit. p. 39. n. 28. 



Confusion has arisen with this species, owing apparently to 

 the description of the second joint of the antennae " 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. moJginuSy and in these the antennae agree in structure with 

 Dallas's description and type. Signoret further complicated 

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

 the species described by Westwood as Cydnus latipes^ which, 

 however, does not belong to Stibaropus but to the genus 

 Scoparipes. 



Stibaropus minor. 



Stibaropus minor, Walk. Cat. Het. i. p. 166. n. 2 (1867). 

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



Stibaropus Jiaoidus, Siga. Ann. Soc. Eat. Fr. s^r. 6, t. i. p. 47, pi. ii, 

 f. 6 (1881). 



Most probably also one of Schiodte's species, 8. tabulatus 

 or S. callidus, but impossible to determine from the description 

 alone of those species. 



Genus Adrisa. 

 Adrisa ? binotata. 

 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 clarus, 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.
