Very like 0. declivis, but of a much coarser and rougher 
sculpture, black, nitid. Head punctate, rounded, and a little 
recurved at the apex, with two transverse ridges on the forehead, 
the upper one very minutely emarginate in the middle. Thorax 
very much wider than the head, transverse, the anterior angles 
acute, the sides angularly rounded and covered with sub- 
vaviolose, sub-elongate punctures ; the male has a strong promi- 
nent tubercle in the central line near the base, from which it 
slopes forwards in a flat surface to the apical margin, presenting 
a large triangular flat space, with the side angles formed of a 
strong tubercle excavated a little on the inner side and almost 
smooth. The elytra are scarcely so wide as the widest part of 
the thorax, distinctly but not deeply striate, the interstices wide, 
a little convex, minutely punctate, and rugose. Legs piceou.s, the 
anterior tibiae more strongly quadridentate than in 0. declivis, 
with the terminal spur stronger and more recurved. Female 
unknown.

strongly punctate j the anterior angles of the head are acute and 
laterally produced, the clypeus is narrowed towards the apex, 
much recurved and emarginate. The thorax is of a waxy gloss,
