The absence of a longitudinal carinae on the elytra in this species justifies its transference to

Remarks
. In addition to the characters mentioned in the key, the general appearance of the elytra of
Ozineus albidus
(
Monné, 2009
)
also resembles that of
O. alienus
Melzer, 1932
(
Fig. 4
), but differs as follows: scape covered with brown pubescence; pronotum with brown pubescence with two anteromedian spots covered with dark-brown pubescence; pro-, meso- and metatarsi I with grayish-white pubescence. In
O. alienus
, the scape is bicolored, covered with whitish and dark-brown pubescence; the pronotum is covered with yellowish pubescence except for the whitish posterior margin; and the tarsi are covered with dark-brown pubescence.
