giori plus duplo latiori, sparsim obsoleteque punctulato, antico 

 leviter transversim depresso ; elytris tenuiter punctulatis. 

 Long. 7-7 1 mm. 



Hah. Malay Archipelago : Kaiva, Gilolo {Wallace). 



Head with a fine longitudinal, median, impressed line 

 above, with a transverse impression between the eyes. An- 

 tennae rather slender, with the first three or four joints 

 yellowish, the remaining joints dark brown. Prothorax more 

 than twice as broad as long, obsoletely punctulate, anterior 

 part of disk slightly transversely depressed. Scutellum 

 yellow. Elytra very finely and not very thickly punctulate, 

 each with two longitudinal black bands, of which one, sub- 

 marginal, extends from the base to the apex without quite 

 reaching to the suture behind ; the other, close to and parallel 

 to the suture, stops short behind without joining the subraar- 

 ginal vitta. Legs and underside of body yellowish. Meta- 

 sternum piceous. 



This species may be placed near O. ClarJcii, Jac, with 

 which it agrees in the structure of its head, thorax, and 

 antennae. It differs from that species by its shorter form and 

 by the position of the inner dark bands on the elytra, as well 

 as by the absence of a dark sutural band.
