rugose at the sides, and the abdomen coarsely punctured. The

Type in the British Museum ; co-types in colL E. Oberthiir 

 and the Indian Museum. 



I have seen three specimens (all of them males), one of which has 

 been kindly given to the British Museum by M. Kene Oberthiir.

Black, witli the upper surface and pygidium velvety, and the 

 clypeus, legs and lower surface shining, the prothorax encircled 

 with a deep red band, more or less interrupted in the middle of 

 the base. In the $ the pygidium has a large patch of the same 

 colour ou each side and each elytron has a bright orange-yellow 

 patch placed just behind the middle of the outer margin. In the 

 S the patches on the pygidium are bright yellow and there are 

 two orange spots placed transversely on each elytron, the inner 

 spot a httle behind the outer one. The sides of the sternum and 

 abdomen are with or without yellow patches. 



The body is long, narrow and very depressed. The head is 

 finely and closely punctured, with the clypeus broad and bilobed. 

 The pronotum is strongly punctured, very transverse, much 

 narrowed in front, where it is sharply elevated in the middle, with 

 the hind angles entirely obliterated and the base gently sinuated. 

 The scutellum is long and narrow. The elytra are deeply striated 

 and have large irregular punctures at the sides, the outer margins 

 are strongly sinuated behind the shoulders and the apical angles 

 sharp but not spinose. The metasternum is transversely strigose, 

 except in the middle, and the abdomen coarsely punctured. The 

 leys are short and the tarsi very closely articulated. 



The difference between the sexes has already been described. 



Length 16-17 mm. ; breadth 7-8 mm. 



Tenasseeim : Tavoy, Meetan ; Malay Peniksula ; Java ; 

 Borneo. 



All the Burmese specimens I have seen are females and the 

 description of the male is therefore taken from the specimens 

 collected outside our boundaries. All the Burmese examples 

 differ from other females in the larger size of the yellow elytral 

 patch, and there may therefore be a corresponding difference in 

 males from the same region. 



The male of this species has been generally known as 

 O. torquata, F., but incorrectly.
