Palon, Pogu. 



One example, which I refer to this species with some hesi- 

 tation, as it differs in certain points from the description, chiefly 

 as regards the margination of the presternum. To this character 

 I am disposed to attach little value, as the Japanese 0. vicarius 

 (Bates) which Chaudoir places in his section " Presternum inter 

 coxas baud marginatum " varies in the presternum being some- 

 times very sharply margined to the apex (without quite rounding 

 the apex) and at others showing a margin only along the an- 

 terior curve of the coxal sockets, with intermediate gradations.
