0. decurio^ Lansb. A comparison of the descriptions of this 

 and of rubrimaculatuSj Macl., leaves little doubt that Lansberge's 

 name is a mere synonym of the latter. 



O. patruelis, Har. The description of this species clearly 

 indicates that the name is a synonym of O. asper, Macl. 



O. propinqiius, Macl. This species does not seem to be dis- 

 tinguished from O. bicornis, Macl., by any characters that indicate 

 more than feebleness of development. I regard the name as a 

 synonym. 



O. hunieralis, Macl. Must be very near to O. hipustulatus, 

 Fab , judged by the description. The type is said to be a male, 

 and of bipustulatiis I know only the female so I am unable to 

 decide whether the two are distinct. 



O. Duboulayi, Waterh. I can find no definite character in the 

 description of this species to separate it from 0. jubatus, Har., 

 of which the name seems to me a synonym. 



O. hosfilis, Har. I have already (Pr. L.S., N.S.W., 1892, p. 

 283) pointed out that this is a synonym of O. Adelaidce, Hope.

8. tyrrhena, sp. nov. Minus lata sat convexa ; sat nitida ; 

 splendide viridis, elytris rufobrunneis, notulis viridibus (sc.

 mediana omnino transversa — in sutura et utrinque dilatata,

Much like S. delectabilis, Saund., in respect of sculpture and 

 coloring (except in the dark parts being of a brilliant green), but
