 truncate, not prolonged, and strongly rounded at both angles. Under surface black,

Long. 4i mm., elytr. '^, lat. H. 



Blackish brown, with the antenual tubercles, the two first joints of the antennae 

 and the extreme base of the other joints of a rufous colour, with the legs and sides 

 of the under surface almost black. Elytra densely punctured all over, clothed with 

 irregular patches of a grey pubescence. The apex of the elytra is shaped as in 

 0. brunnea sp. nov., but the outer angles are less rounded. The scutellum is longer 

 than in the other two species, and the antennae somewhat shorter. 



Hab. Kuilu (A. Mocquerys, 1892). 



This small species will be easily recognised by the densely punctured elytra, and 

 by the grey pubescence of the latter confined to spots and small patches.
