 tus. The insect is red with black antennse and a square spot on 

 the thorax, and black elytra with a faint purplish tint.

 This insect although claimed by Westwood (loc. cit.) was first, 

 though very unsufficientlj, described by White in 1847. In one 

 respect Westwood's description seems inaccurate, if our insect is 

 really the same species (of which I hâve no doubt), the punc- 

 tures of the elytra do not form striae in any part, not even irre- 

 gular rows. There are large, deep, stellate punctures very equally 

 but sparingly distributed over the whole elytron, the surface 

 between them may be called subcoriaceous ; hère and there two or 

 tbree punctures are confluent. Ail the punctures hâve an elonga- 

 ted appearance, and become sraaller and more obsolète near the 

 apex. 



The species of this genus do not seem ever to be abundant, 

 they are rather closely allied, and the sculpture is nearly the 

 same, whether coming from Africa, Europe or Japan. I bave descri- 

 bed a species nearly allied to 0. obesus^ from Burma viz. 0. kare- 

 nicus[kxin. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1892, p. 745).
