Head pitchy, labnim pale, somewhat ^^rinkled on the crown, 

 roughly punctured between the eyes, 'i'horax very long, nearly 

 twice as long as wide, the disc rough and uneven, clothed with a 

 few golden green hairs behind. Elytra with the shoulders 

 rather raised, ferruginous at the base, with rough, irregidar, and 

 confused punctures and granulations as far as the middle fascia, 

 this, commencing in a point on the margin, is widest at or 

 shortly before the suture, it is (with the second fascia and the 

 apex) distinctly pale, but is densely clothed with a brilliant 

 golden green pile ; the second fascia commences narrow on the 

 margin, and is directed obliquely backwards towards the base, 

 terminating in a round spot before the suture, the apex is less 

 densely clothed but is shining. Legs, antennfe and palpi rich 

 rusty red, posterior femora a little darker in the middle. 



Hab. East ^Mindanao, Philippines, (Semper).

 acuminate, and the fifth segment of the abdomen emarginate, 

 and a sixth ventral plate conspicuous, these are, I think, females, 

 but I am not able satisfactordy to ascertain their sex.

Allied to 0. sendcarinataa, Chev. from which it diifers as 

 follows : the thorax is longer and less widened on the sides, the 

 carina at the base is less distinct, but three tubercules on each 

 side are very distinct ; the elytra are not so confusedly marked, 

 and the pile is a brighter olive-green, the stri* are continued 

 obsoletely for nearly the whole length, but raised costa; are not 

 to be seen as in semicarinatus ; the legs are rusty-red, with their
