34. Stigmatium tapetum, Gorh., Cistula Ent. 1876, p. 95. 

 Shwegoo; Thagata (Tenasserim) ; Assam, Patkai Mts. (Doherty). 

 Yery abundant, probably, over the whole Indo-Malay region. 



35. ? Stigmatium philippinarum, Gorh., Cist. Ent. 1876, p. 93? 

 Thagatà on the Mooleyit (Tenasserim), one specimen, doubt- 

 fully referred to the above. 



36. Stigmatium mutiliaecolor , White, Cat. Brit. Mus. p. 51 

 [Tillicerd]; Gorh. Cist. Ent., 1876, p. 72; Stigmatium dimidiatmn, 

 Chevr., Rev. et Mag. d'Ent. 1874, p. 63. 



This remarkable and fine species has plainly no other place 

 than in Stigmatium^ and I think should head the section in 

 which S. gilberti is placed. 



Bhamo; Carin Hills (Chebà) 900-1100 m. and Thagatà on 

 the Mooleyit (Tenasserim). 



Chevrolat, describes this insect from Cochinchina. It is in my 

 collection from Laos and Siam. 



37. Stigmatium birmanicum, n. sp. 



S. gilberti, White, affine, nigrum subtus rufum, elytris triente 

 basali sordide rufìs, macula transversa fasciam interruptam simu- 

 lante; ante aficem albido-einereo pubescente j apiceque griseo, ore 

 palpis, coxis femoribusque posticis basi rufis. Long. 9-10 millim. 



Hab. Carin Hills (Chebà), 900-1100 m. 



This insect is of the same size and is formed very much as 

 S. gilberti; which indeed it resembles at first sight. It is however 

 easily distinguished by the form of the subapical ashy spot, 

 which is rather further from the apex, and is transverse and 

 joined to the margin by a narrow production, but does not 

 reach the suture. The apex itself is occupied by a small grey 

 spot which is not present in S. gilberti. The abdomen is also 

 red in S. birmanicum. 



Four specimens.
