Opaque, clothed with a fine incvimbent golden pile, short on 

 the elytra, but longer and denser on the sides of the thorax, on 

 the breast, and in the middle of the abdominal segments. The 

 head is tawny testaceous, with the crown and occiput and part 

 of the epistome black ; the eyes (male) do not reach the median 

 line ; the muzzle is much elongated. The antennas are dull 

 tawny brown. The thorax is cylindrical, almost bisulcate 

 along the disk, closely reticulate-punctate, with the whole disk 

 dull black, and margins (like the under surface) tawny testa- 

 ceous. The elytra reach the base of the terminal segment and 

 are sharply sinuate-truncate ; their surface is very regvdarly 

 and closely punctured and opaque. The legs are moderately 

 slender, the femora rather abruptly but not thickly clavate, 

 and the first joint of the hind tarsi is equal in length to the 

 remaining three ; the femora and tibiffi are indistinctly clouded 

 with blackish.

Closely allied to 0. {Agaotie) malthinoides (Bates), but the 

 elytra less attenuated than in that species ; in fact these organs 

 are entire, with the exception of the narrowness of the epi- 

 pleurge from a little beyond the base, and they leave only the 

 tip of the pygidium exposed. The eyes of the male do not 

 approach so closely on the forehead as in the allied species. 

 The third to fifth antennal joints are linear, and the rest are 

 only very slightly produced at their inner apical angles. The 

 thorax is cylindrical and very coarsely, but irregularly and not 

 closely, punctured. The legs are clear honey-yellow, with the 

 exception of a brown spot at the apex of the hind femora.
