France, 1893, p. cognata, Gestro (nec Wied.), Ann. Mus. Genova, 1893,p. 356. This species is closely allied to O. cognata, Wied., with whichit has been confused, but is a more obscurely coloured insect witha distinct dull obscure coppery or greenish coppery reflection, andthe elytral markings, which are similar in character, thinner andless pronounced; the general sculpture and the shape of thepronotum are much the same, but the latter is very slightlyshorter ; the pubescence of the underside is much thinner and lesstomentose, and the colouring of the underside is coppery andgreen, not blue and violaceous, as in 0. cognata. It is quite adistinct species, and easily recognizable. Length millim.
