This species is very close to the preceding. It differs, 
however, in having the thorax rather more thickly punc- 
tured. The interstices of the elytra are less flat, and are 
thickly and somewhat strongly punctured, whereas in the 
preceding species the interstices are only moderately 
thickly punctured and the punctures are very lightly 
impressed. In O. fodiens the carinx on the forehead of 
the 2 are so placed that the anterior one is midway between 
the posterior one and the apex, whereas in O. ater the 
anterior carina is much nearer to the apex than to the 
posterior carina. 
Hab.—Nipon and Kiushiu. Abundant everywhere.
