 macula rotundata posteriori laterali alba guttulaque prope su- 

 turam llava. Caput strigulosum, spatio angusto mediano a collo 

 usque ad epistomatem laevi et inter oculos linea impresso. Thorax 

 anguste cordatus, postico subangulatim angustatus basi iterum 

 dilatatus; subopacus^ dense striatus prope basin punctato-rugosus,

Wiedmann gives Java as the locality of the species, the 

 description of which exactly fits the Burmese specimens, as 

 well as others from South China and Sumatra. The 0. alternans, 

 Dej. Wiedm. was considered by Chaudoir as synonymous, but 

 the descriptions of neither author seems to me to apply to 

 0. duplicatus J Wiedm., they agree better with a species from 

 Java which has the sixth elytral interstice much less densely 

 punctured near the base.
