narrowly impunctate and paler, the cicatrices equally smooth and 

 black, the black colour becoming more and more diffused behind 

 the cicatrices on each side of the median longitudinal line, which 

 remains entirely flavous ; all the surface covered with long bristly 

 hairs as on the head; scutellum very broadly black at the base, 

 strongly granulose, punctured on all the surface excepting the 

 pale whitish apex which remains smooth and obtusely carinate, 

 similarly pilose as on pronotum ; corium flavous, glossy, brilliant, 

 with the extreme base blackish and a large black brilliant sub- 

 rounded and rather irregular spot on the middle of the disk, a 

 pilosity resembling that of the scutellum near the base and on the 

 edges, scarcer on the disk and nearly absent near the apex ; 

 membrane narrowly white, milky at the base, brilliant black on the 

 disk and the apical area which does not extend beyond the 

 abdominal apex; head beneath and sternum flavous, the punc- 

 tuation brownish, impunctate and pale at the coxal cavities, the 

 orifices, the anterior margin of the prosternum and more narrowly 

 at the posterior margins of the meso- and metasterna ; abdomen 

 entirely brilliant black, with a large pale yellow spot on the 

 posterior half of each of the segments of the connexivum ; legs 

 pale yellow, tibiae with fine and clearly seen hairs ; rostrum pale 

 with its apex brownish." (Montandon.) 



Length " 3-7 millim."

Allied to O. Jiirmtus, Montand. I have not seen this species.

Head, antennae, pronotum, scutellum, and body beneath black ; 

 apex of third joint and the whole of fourth joint of antennas, 

 apical margin of head, apex of scutellum, rostrum and legs, 

 ochraceous; hemelytra stramineous, corium with a large black 

 apical spot which occupies a little more than the apical third of the 

 whole area; coxae and small lateral spots to sternum obscure 

 greyish ; antennae finely pilose, second joint slightly longer than 

 fourth, each distinctly longer than third ; head with the anterior 

 margins longly pilose, the disk with short, semierect hairs, 

 punctate, and with a foveate impression near bases of antennae ; 

 pronotura coarsely punctate, with somewhat erect pale hairs, and 

 with a transverse impression on anterior area ; scntellum coarsely 

 punctate, more sparsely so on apical area; corium with its lateral 

 margins slightly convex, longitudinally punctate along the principal 

 veins and granulose on about basal third of costal margin where 

 there are long marginal hairs; membrane dull stramineous 

 hyaline; eyes large and flattened, directed a little outwardly and 

 backwardly beyond the anterior margin of the pronotum. 



Length 4 millim.

Apparently allied to G. maindroni, Montand., colour of antenna 

 and pronotum and markings of corium different.
