Front and vertex strongly, but not closely punctured. Clypeus 

 longer than its greatest width, its sides obli(iuely sloped : the apex 

 narrow, transvei-se, depressed in the centre : the top broadly 

 rounded. Thorax closely, sti-ongly rugosely i)uncture<l ; the base 

 of pronotum broadly rounded and boi-dered hy a distinct, shai-i)ly 

 raised keel. Scutellum flat, on a level with the mesonotum, the 

 post-scntellum slightly more raisetl, esijecialiy towards the apex : 

 its apical slope long, slightly oblique and sparsely- punctured. 

 Sides of median segment l)roadly rounded, the apex oliseurely 

 transversely striated, ])unctured i-ound the edgps. The hnvei- 

 pai't of propleurai is only sparsely ])unctui'ed. First abdominal 

 segment cupshaped, Inoadly rounded at the Inise ; the 2nd segment 

 barrel-shaped, clearly longei- than the greatest width. The thorax 

 is longer than usual, fully twice longer than wide : the l)ase of 

 the 2nd ab<lominal segment is not sharply conti-acted and sejiara- 

 ted from the apex of the 1st. 



The rounded and narrowed base of the thoi-ax, bright fulvous 

 wings and broad orange band on the abdomen makes this LcUmo- 

 fuft, with its large size for an Odi/iipnifi, easily recognised. The 

 metanotum is more obliquely slope 1 than usual and has its face 

 finely, closely, transvei-sely striated. The species looks moie like 

 a PoJisfffi than an Odj/iicrus. The bi'oa<l orange band reminds 

 one of O. jjiouiuin.
