Head impuuctate, frontal tubercles ab.sent, the space between the antennae 

 carinate, antennae extending a little beyond the base of the elytra, black, the 

 lower five joints fulvous, the third joint slightly longer and more slender than 

 the second ; thorax more than twice as broad as long, the sides straight at the

Hab. Ruby Mines (Burmah). 



Like the typical species, described by me and also obtained at liurmah, 

 0. biirniwilica may be known by the sulcate head and punctate-striate elytra ; it 

 differs in colour and the geminate punctate sculpture of the elytra from 

 0. viridipenn is.
