Caput rhomboidale: oculis prominulis triangularibus. 
Thorax teretiusculus, vix marginatus. 
The characters which distinguish Ozura from Psammodes, which 
it much resembles, are principally the last joint of the maxillary 
palpi, which is securiform, its linear body,its rhomboidal head con- 
tracted almost into a neck behind the eyes, its prominent triangu- 
lar eyes, its barrel-shaped thorax with scarcel y any margin, and its 
elytra furnished with a mucro at their apex like those of a Blaps.
