Hancock's original description is accurate. Our measurements of the holotype are in accordance with Hancock's. Since description of O. pennatum is publicly available online (digitalized), we do not present full re-description of the species. Important is however to add certain characters to the description on which Hancock (1909) and other scholars did not pay attention at that time. Frontal costa short. Bifurcation of the frontal costa close to the fastigium, for about one diameter of lateral ocellus. Lateral ocelli between the eyes in the middle, below bifurcation of the frontal costa. Antennae 12-segmented. Antennae 1.8 times longer than fore femur, inserted between the lower margin of the compound eyes, mid segments ~2.5 times as long as wide. Facial carinae straight or slightly undulated, scutellum between them much wider than scapus. Dorsal margins of the antennal grooves between the lower fifth of the compound eyes width. Alae surpassing pronotal apex. Pulvilli of the hind tarsi with apical teeth. Ventral margin of hind tibiae with 8 outer and 6 inner spines. FIGURE 3.
