Specimens of O. humeralis from Taiwan have been collected in Lushan Hot Spring and Chunyang, located in central Taiwan. Natural history. Almost nothing is known about the natural history of O. humeralis in Taiwan, other than that the elevation of known collection localities ranges from about 1,000 – 1,200 meters.	en	Hsiao, Yun, Pollock, Darren A.

038D87F3FFE8FFD1FF16FF4C5122FC8C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Hashimoto & Yoshitomi (2010) reported this species in Taiwan from a single female specimen collected from Lushan Hot Spring. With three additional specimens examined from the collection of NMNS, the occurrence of this species in Taiwan is reconfirmed. However, the pubescence along the elytral suture of the population in Taiwan is somewhat longer than comparative specimens from Japan. It is assumed that this represents variation within a single species, pending further study.	en	Hsiao, Yun, Pollock, Darren A.
