  Much 
  larger 
  and 
  broader 
  than 
  O. 
  discors 
  ; 
  thorax 
  propor- 
  

   tionately 
  longer, 
  and 
  the 
  elytra 
  shorter 
  ; 
  antennae 
  longer, 
  the 
  third 
  

   joint 
  more 
  distinctly 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  rest, 
  than 
  in 
  other 
  species. 
  

   The 
  specimen 
  from 
  which 
  this 
  description 
  is 
  taken 
  is 
  discoloured, 
  

   having 
  been 
  preserved 
  in 
  spirits 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  markings 
  may 
  still 
  be 
  

   traced. 
  They 
  resemble 
  those 
  of 
  0. 
  discors; 
  but 
  the 
  three 
  pale 
  

   bands 
  on 
  the 
  thorax 
  are 
  broader. 
  The 
  mesial 
  longitudinal 
  band 
  

   is 
  somewhat 
  impressed. 
  The 
  bands 
  on 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  also 
  broader, 
  

   and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  broad 
  undefined 
  pale 
  band 
  across 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  

   the 
  elytra. 
  The 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  thorax 
  are 
  quite 
  parallel 
  from 
  the 
  

   base 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle; 
  they 
  are 
  then 
  contracted 
  gradually, 
  with 
  

   a 
  gentle 
  curve, 
  to 
  the 
  apex. 
  The 
  elytra, 
  which 
  are 
  shorter 
  than 
  in 
  

   other 
  species, 
  are 
  depressed 
  in 
  the 
  region 
  of 
  the 
  sculellum 
  ; 
  and 
  

   on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  this 
  depression, 
  the 
  anterior 
  margin 
  is 
  much 
  pro- 
  

   duced 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  a 
  lobe, 
  which 
  is 
  directed 
  forwards 
  and 
  up- 
  

   wards, 
  and 
  leaves 
  a 
  cavity 
  beneath 
  ; 
  external 
  to 
  this 
  lobe 
  is 
  a 
  

   tolerably 
  deep 
  notch, 
  and 
  this 
  is 
  followed 
  by 
  an 
  angular 
  tooth-like 
  

   process, 
  which 
  is 
  placed 
  nearly 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  

   elytron. 
  The 
  punctures 
  of 
  the 
  striae 
  are 
  rather 
  larger 
  and 
  more 
  

   approximated 
  than 
  in 
  O. 
  discors, 
  being 
  separated 
  from 
  each 
  other 
  

   by 
  narrow 
  transverse 
  ridges. 
  The 
  legs 
  are 
  rather 
  longer, 
  and 
  

   the 
  tibiae 
  more 
  curved 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  last-mentioned 
  insect. 
  

  

  The 
  peculiar 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  basal 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  is, 
  in 
  all 
  

   probability, 
  sexual, 
  as 
  in 
  other 
  species 
  of 
  Oxyrhpichus 
  there 
  are 
  

   sexual 
  differences 
  noticed 
  in 
  the 
  part 
  in 
  question.
