 apical central keel is wider, smooth and shining at the base : tUere 

 is a shining fovea on either side of it at the apex. The 2nd to 5th 

 abdominal segments project laterally into sharp, narrow blackish 

 spines. 



Comes near to O. spiniferus. Cam. : the scutellar spine in that 

 species is largei-, longer compared with its width, it is raised and 

 keeled in the centre, not hollowed, and the central area of the 

 metanotum. is raised and cleai-ly reticulated, while in ca/'ensis it 

 is finely rugose, with 2 transverse keels above the apical depression.
