Coleojderous Fatnily Cleridce. lOl 



Allied to S. mutilkecolor, White (TiUicera) but smaller, and 

 to be distinguished by the red fascia near the apex of the elytra. 

 In the single specimen I have the elytra are entirely free from 

 scales, this, however, may be owing to abrasion, their base is 

 rugulose with rasp-formed punctures ; beyond the red portion 

 these granulations are visible as small tubercules to very near 

 the apex. Breast red, abdomen black. 



Hab. Timor, (Wallace). 



Stlgmatmm versipelle, n, sp. 



Oblongum, parallelum, Havo-viilosum, fuscum, elytris basi 

 granuloso-punctatis, versus apicem densius flavo-pubescens, fascia 

 irregulari apicali quasi denudata, pedibus fuscis, fenioribiis basi 

 albidis, tarsis dilutioribus. Long. lin. i^l-G. 



leather depressed, head and eyes brownish, villose, antenna? 

 hairy, scarcely longer than head and thorax, the latter pitchy 

 with shining yellow irregularly disposed pile. Elytra with the 

 basal portion rasp-punctured or granulose, the granules little 

 elevated, below the middle a large patch of bright yellowish 

 pubescence, extending to the apex, widest near the suture, 

 with small denuded tubercules, a dark irregular fascia, partially 

 denuded, before the apex. Legs brown, base of tlie femora 

 and palpi pale yellow. Underside pitchy. 



Hab. Queensland, [Eockhampton]. 



Omadius, Lap. 



Type 0. indicus, Cast. 



Divergent as the typical forms of this genus are from Stig- 

 mrxtium, the genera nevertheless shade off insensibly into each 

 other. The comparative width between the eyes being the 

 most constant character I can discover. In Omadius these 

 organs are usually almost contiguous, while in Stujiiiatium they 

 are always separated by a narrow band.
