I have no doubt that Olivier's description and figure 

 refer to this species. In the Berlin museum there are two 

 species represented by single specimens, which I believe to 

 be Olivier's types, viz., B. lateralis, Oliv. and B. viridula, 

 Oliv. ; they both come from Hagen's collection, and have 

 the above names to them, and agree with the descriptions 

 and figures. Olivier quotes the collection of Gigot d'Orcy. 

 It is possible, liOAvever, that they may have passed into 

 Ilagen's hands. I have never seen Olivier's names used 

 for these species elsewhere.
