Species of the Coleopterous Genus Oicles. 457 



O'ides pectoral is J Clark. 



This species appears to liave a tolerably wide range. 

 There are specimens in the British Museum from the 

 following localities : — Sumatra, Malacca ( H'a?/ace), Tringano, 

 Siam, Assam. 



O'ides 7iigripesy 32iC. (nee Oliv.), described in the 'Ento- 

 mologist,' 1891 (April), Supplement, p. 34, appears to me to 

 be identical with the present species.
