This variable species may be better known to recent authors under the names of cruenta 

 Solander or emicator Meuschen. I have followed Weinkauff, who (I.e.) says on this subject: 

 "Die Namen O. crtienta Solander und emicator Meuschen konnen den .LAMARK'schen Namen 

 nicht ausschliessen ; ersterer ist Manuscriptnamen, der erst seit Dillwijn Geltung hat und die 

 MEUSCHEN'schen Namen verdienen kaum Beriicksichtigung, weil sie nicht den LiNNifi'schen Regeln 

 entsprechen". In accordance with this view, v. Martens and other eminent authors have used 

 the name guttata.

The specimen from Stat. 301 has in colour much resemblance to some specimens of 

 O. tigrina Lam., but is easily distinguished by its less inflated shape.

Weinkauff (1. c.) says that this species is still rare in collections; this may account for 

 uniting it with O. Lecoquiana Ducr. by Tryon (1. c). I can find but little resemblance with that 

 species. The only specimen perfectly agrees with Weinkauff's ample description.
