This
species is widely spread in
eastern Oceania
but has not heretofore been recorded from so far west as
Guam
.
One
specimen,
Yigo
, from a seed cluster of a palm (
Coccothrinax
?),
Nov. 13, 1936
, Swezey.
This species can be separated from
0.
fusiforme
with the unaided eye because of its usually stouter form and smoother appearance.
0.
fusiforme
is more slender and its deeply grooved elytra and sculptured elytral intervals give it a distinctive appearance.
