This species has a close general resemblance , and is probably 

 nearly allied , to 0. fuscipennis, Chevr. In the latter species the 

 elytra are less pubescent and somewhat more strongly punctu- 

 red , the last ventral segment of the male has a larger and 

 deeper depression, and the first segment is concolorous and 

 unarmed. The curious abdominal process with which 0. armata 

 is provided seems to be confined to this species. I do not re- 

 collect the occurrence of anything similar to it elsewhere among 

 the Longicorns. A somewhat similar process does, however, oc- 

 cur among certain species of Galerucinae (Gen. Iloplasoma, Jac).

This species agrees very closely in structural details with 

 0. curialis, Pasc, which occurs in Sumatra , Java and Penang. 

 The difference is chiefly one of colour. In curialis the elytra 

 are distinctly black, while the head and prothorax are reddish. 

 In the present species the elytra are fulvous, testaceous some- 

 what infuscate externally and towards the apex; the head and 

 prothorax are yellowish tawny. So far as I can judge from the 

 few specimens of each form that I have seen, these differences 

 remain constant; though possibly the species I have just described 

 may prove to be only a local or pale variety of 0. curialis.
