Type, O. collinus, Dist. 



Distribution. At present only recorded from Northern India. 



Body elongate ; head subtriangular, somewhat acutely produced 

 at apex ; ocelli placed nearer eyes than to each other ; antennae 

 with the first and fourth joints distinctly thickened ; rostrum 

 reaching or slightly passing the intermediate coxae ; pronotum 

 moderately narrowed in front, granulose, a distinct transverse 

 ridge near anterior margin ; scutellum about as long as broad, the 

 lateral margins (except at base) distinctly ridged, the apical margin 

 strongly ridged, granulosely punctate; membrane considerably 

 passing abdominal apex ; lateral margins of metasternum oblique 

 and apically acutely produced, seen above on each side of the costal 

 margins of corium ; legs somewhat slender, posterior tarsi with 

 the first joint distinctly longer than the second and third joints 

 together. 



Allied to Arocatus by the long scutellum, but differing from that 

 genus by the structure of the scutellum and by the produced 

 metasternal lateral angles.
