a little smaller than A. abnormis, Macl, but otherwise does not 
appear to differ from its typical congeners, either structur rally or 
in facies. In Sir W. Macleay's grouping of the Anoplognathi 
(Tr. E.S., N.S. W, IL, pp. 353-4) it should be placed, I think, in 
the group containing rugosus, Kirby, pectoralis, Burm., and 
dispar, Macl., from all of which it differs widely inter alia by the 
subobsolete puncturation of its elytra.

STIGMODERA. 
In the Ann. Soc. Ent., Belg. 1898, there is a lengthy paper 
by M. Kerremans containing descriptions of a large number o 
new Buprestide, chiefly from Australia, Having recently been 
late work somewhat closely as far as concerns the 
genus es and in the following notes I record the result, 
and add some remarks on certain other Stigmodere, together 
with the Bestie of "ie new species. 
S. triangulosa, Kerr. (l.e.)—terre-regine, Blackb. (Tr. Roy 
Soc., S.A., 1893, p. 295). It seems to me doubtful whether both 
these names will ok have to be dropped in favor of S. uc 
Macl. (Trans. Ent. Soc., N.S.W., I., p. 24)—a name t 
applied to an insect which ( judged by the een" nie 
well be a variety of the species I ee subsequently M. 
iMt "with its ei a mere variety. 
S. sensitiva, Kerr. (1.c.)— S. vietoriensis, Blackb. (Tr. Roy. S., 
S.A., 1890, p. 152). 
S. "laudabilis, Kore: (Le.) Judging by the description I should 
say this insect is 8. Skuse, Blackb. (Tr. Roy. S., S.A., 1892, 
p. 46). 
S. veraz, Kerr. (l.e.). This species must be very close to (if not 
ential with) S. Mastersi, Macl. (Tr. Ent. Soc., N.S.W., II, 
45). 
E" colorata, Kerr, (Lc.) nom. prwocc. (Hope, Tr. Ent. Soc., 
Lond., 1847, p. 283). I pr opose the name duleis for this hand- 
some «eee of which there is a fine example in the S.A. 
Museum 
: minata, Kerr. (l.c.). This species seems to be without 
doubt identical with S. acutipennis, Thoms.
