Species of the Coleopterous Genus O'ides. 457 



O'ides pectoral is, Clark. 



This species appears to have a tolerably wide range. 

 There are specimens in the British Museum from the 

 following localities : — Sumatra, Malacca ( Wallace), Tringano, 

 Siam, Assam. 



O'ides nigripes, Jac. (nee Oliv.) , described in the ' Ento- 

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

 be identical with the present species.
