the eyes if exserted; the thorax shining in front, the anterior 

 constriction only apparent on the sides, which are rather con- 

 tracted in front. Behind the middle its surface closely punctured 

 and subopaque, the puncturing confluent and forming longitu- 

 dinal rugae; from the lateral constrictions lines of golden hairs 

 converge to the middle meeting before the base. The elytra at 

 the base are wider than the thorax, the striae obliterated in the 

 apical third, but the interstices continued a little further as 

 raised subcostate lines, a broad red band, occupies the greater part, 

 being only narrowly separated from the base by a black fascia, 

 and about a third at the apex is black, antennae evenly rusty- 

 red, with the third joint elongate, the fourth to the seventh 

 about as long as wide, the three succeeding transverse, acu- 

 minate within; terminal joint falciform, the palpi paler. Legs 

 pale red. The tarsi darker. Two specimens.

Head pitchy nearly black, shinmg, with a few, very small 

 points, scarcely impressed, palpi and antennae rufous, the latter 

 with the third and fourth joints equal in length and the fifth 

 to the eighth a little shorter and all fusiform., the three last 

 joints forming a lax club, and closely clothed with a fine golden 

 pubescence. The eyes are rather more prominent and the 

 thorax shorter than that of 0. cylindricuSj and the latter more 

 contracted behind, the anterior constriction distinct and com- 

 plete, very deep on the disk, the surface with distinct deep 

 but sparse punctures, in one example (viz that from the Garin 

 Hills) entirely rufous, in the other one pitchy with the front 

 margin slightly rufous. Elytra punctate-striate rather irregu- 

 larly so , and with some punctures on the flat interstices , 

 evenly cylindrical, a little depressed, hairy but not densely so, 

 pitchy black; an oblique spot on the callus, and occupying the
