which are longer than the others ; prothorax covered with small but 

 deep round setigerous punctures divided by an interval slightly 

 narrower than their own diameter ; scutellum punctate, hirtose 

 laterally, the apical acuminate part is smooth ; elytra very little 

 narrower at apex than at base, and having on each side two 

 discoidal costse, the second one being, however, almost obliterated, 

 and covered with shallow but somewhat broad cicatricose impres- 

 sions forming a slight network ; pygidium similarly sculptured ; 

 abdomen covered with deep, round setigerous punctures ; pectus 

 very densely villose ; anterior tibiae sharply tri-dentate outwardly ; 

 basal joint of hind tarsi nodose, not sharply angular outwardly.

Bronze-green, with the humeral part of the elytra darker bronze, 

 or the whole surface is totally bronze with the margins of the 

 prothorax and the legs bright green ; clypeus parabolic laterally 

 from the base to the anterior margin which is also rounded laterally, 

 incised at the apex and with each angle of the incision produced into 

 two small, slightly reflexed teeth ; prothorax similar to that of 

 0. hispida and similarly sculptured, but the pubescence which, like 

 that on the head, is much shorter, is flavescent, and along the outer 

 margin there is a narrow white line ; the median apical part of the 

 scutellum is impunctate ; elytra narrower at apex than at base, very 

 faintly costulate, covered with deep, round punctures bearing each a 

 somewhat flavescent hair, these punctures are separated by a raised 

 wall, and as they are broader than in 0. hispida, the pubescence is 

 therefore much less dense ; pygidium somewhat densely hairy, 

 irregularly cicatricose punctate, and having on each side a 

 moderately large white patch and occasionally a transverse white 

 line along the base, but these markings are oftener than not entirely 

 obliterated ; the penultimate abdominal segment has a small white 

 patch on each side, and the lower outer face of the intermediate and 

 hind femora is white.
