" 6. O. BISEKIATA, n. Sp.''' 



Said to resemble the lawt, but narrower and less dilated pos- 

 teriorly ; crown narrower, with tbe spines rather longer ; prothorax 

 longer, with parallel keels, anterior angles less produced, lateral mar- 

 gin with two rows of cells ; elytra with larger cells, which, in the 

 discoidal area are in three rows, and in the sutural area in two rows. 



" 7. O. RECTICOSTA, 11. sp.'' 



Very like in form and size to O. hiseriata, disc of the prothorax 

 more closely and finely punctate, the posterior process longer, evi- 

 dently areolate, the sutural area of the elytra, posteriorly, with three 

 rows of cells. 



May it be that these last two are sexes of one species, or is either 

 of them the i^ of O. parvula ? It is almost impossible to determine 

 any of such small species without fuller descriptions than are here 

 given, or without seeing typical examples : the confused synonymy 

 of the older species in the genus shows this. I have noticed these 

 " new species " in the hope of drawing thereto the attention of collec- 

 tors in this country, where, especially in the north, such forms may 

 be expected to occur, and so get the matter elucidated.
