Diagnosis: The unicolorous characteristic (castaneous) of the elytral disc will distinguish these beetles from
O. tuberculata

SOLERVICENS (2004: 31)
. Additional characteristics involve: Antenna as in
Fig. 15
, pronotum as in

th,
and habitus as in
Fig. 91.
Variation: Size: Length 4.0-5.0 mm; width 1.3-2.0 mm. Other than body size, the available specimens were quite homogeneous.
Distribution (
