Hah. Tasmania. 



The scales vary in size and form, as they do in the other 

 two species ; but in this one they are not close together so as 

 almost to hide the sculpture, but irregularly scattered, although 

 approximating in parts so as to form indefinite patches, Avhich 

 are more or lessconnected according, apparently, to the freshness 

 of the specimen.

Like a small starved specimen of 0. simidans, Boh., but 

 proportionally longer and more slender ] in my solitary example 

 the iijiper surface has a somewhat silvery hue.
