 Resembling 0. melas, FvL, in build but somewhat more 

 elongate and i7iter alia with the pronotum and elytra very 

 differently sculptured. Perhaps also bears a general resemblance 

 to 0. scabrellus, Fvl , but differs inter aha rauUa from that 

 species by its very strongly clavate antennas and its non-strigose 

 head.

 The female differs from that of the preceding species very little 

 except in respect of color and of its narrower and more elongate 

 form. In the male the sculpture of the head and pronotum is
