eye.s, which here forms a baud is the oiily eoustaiit character I 

 can tind, and in this it is approached by some OiinnlU. The 

 present addition brings the number described to about 60, and 

 some revision with a comparison of types is needed. 



Stiiiiiintiam is more widely diliused than Oiiiadius, extending 

 to the African continent. Both occur in Australia, Stlgmatiurn 

 predominating.

The principal characteristics which se})arate this species frcnii 

 the larger Sti;/matia already described are the presence of a 

 depressed sutural region extending for half the length of the 

 elytra, expanding into a S([uare patch of a lighter red than the 

 rest of the elytra, this depression or flattened space being 

 clothed with griseous hairs, (shining when viewed sideways, 

 especially with the head of the insect towards one), and the 

 roDiinenaiinent of a fascia of these hairs on the margin about 

 a third from the apex, but no trace of the fascia towards the 

 suture as in riiff ventre &c., the apex itself is also densely clothed 

 with them, with the exception of four minute spots which are 

 nude. The series of granules resolve themselves into i)unctures 

 before the middle, the third and fourth being carried on a 

 puncture or two further than the succeeding four stri*. The 

 granules in all these larger species appear to be the spaces 

 lietween the punctures, which are raised, giving the idea of a 

 rasp. Underneath the metasternum and abdomen are entirely 

 red ; the middle and posterior femora are more or less pitchy at 

 their apices, their tibiae and tarsi pitchy. Autennye pitchy 

 black.
