Long. 17-19 mm. 



Hdh. [ndia. 



Obscurely bronzy, broad and depressed, with the upper 

 surface opaque. The head is punctured and setose, witli the 

 front margin entire and nearly straight in front. The pro- 

 thorax is rather broader than long, with the margins recti- 

 linear, the hind antjles not rounded off, and the base and sides 

 angulated in the middle. The elytra are flat, faintly striated 

 and very finely punctured. The pygidium is lightly punc- 

 tured, the sides of the metasternum clothed witli fine hair, 

 and the abdomen almost smooth. 



$ . The sutural carina of the head is strongly angulated 

 and the head is provided behind with a pair of backwardly- 

 directed horns almost as long as the body when well-developed ; 

 they are united at the base, gently curved, slender and 

 serrated beneath at the hinder part. The prothorax is 

 excavated beneath, and from tiie posterior margin of the 

 cavity proceeds a long, compressed, straight horn, directed 

 obliquely forwards and blunt at its extremity. 



I have not seen the female. 



This species is closely related to 0. ^[ouhotl^ liar., but is 

 broader and more flattened and has the margins of the pro- 

 thorax less curvilinear. The cephalic horns differ in being 

 serrated beneath, and the thoracic horn is placed farther 

 back, and in our specimen is more slender. The tlioracic 

 cavity extends farther back, but rather less from side to side. 



Two specimens, without precise locality, were received with 

 the Bowring colleciion.
