Motschulsky's name lias the priority over mine for this species, 

 unless it be considered invalidated by its prior use by Bland 

 for a JS"orth-American species (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. i. 1862, 

 p. 274).

Eecorded by Blessig from the Middle Amur. Mr. Lewis's 

 examples agree well with Blessig's description with regard to 

 their differences from Callidium alni, except that the underside 

 is not Avholly pale reddish, the presternum and abdomen being 

 piceous. The species is very much larger than O. Alni, varying 

 from 7-10 millim.

One example, referred to this widely distributed East-Siberian 

 species. It differs somewhat from a Manchurian specimen with 

 which I have compared it, the oblique subbasal fascia curving 

 sharply forward and joining the subbasal discoidal spot.

C. plelejo proximo affinis. Minor, gracilior, niger, thorace 

 cinereo-pubescenti, basi utrinque albo marginata ; scutello nigro ;
