identical, with the species described below, and which I originally 

 received from the late M. Deyrolle under hia manuscript name of 

 O. squamicollis, a name here adopted. It is a species of very ge- 

 neral distribution, and varies in colour, the elytra, normally with 

 the sides more or less white, being sometimes almost entirely uni- 

 colorous, dark brown or brownish red ; but the condensed patch of 

 scales on the prothorax to which it owes its name is pretty constant.

This species has the habit of 0. Hopei, Boh. ; but it has the 

 elytra very convex, not depressed as in that species, and their 

 sculpture is different.
