Material studied: ♂ Holotype: S-THAIL. Betong 1993, Gunung Cang dun vill., Yala dist. 26.3-22.4 leg. Horak & Strned / HOLOTYPE Oedichirus vexans Des. 2016 G. de Rougemont [ NHMW] ; 1♀ paratype: [Ibid] / PARATYPE: Oedichirus vexans Des. 2016 G. de Rougemont [ CRO] .

Description: length: 10 mm; length of fore-body: 4.8; length of head: 0.82; breadth of head: 1.2; length of antenna: 2.5; length of pronotum: 1.5; breadth of pronotum: 1.17; length of elytron: 1.75; breadth of elytra: 1.72. Head black, pronotum red, abdominal segments III-V red, the following black; tibiae entirely dark (♂) or almost so, with only the distal extremities testaceous (♀). Dorsal surfaces devoid of microsculpture except very narrowly on basal keels of abdominal tergites. Pubescence pale, long, especially on abdomen, erect. Habitus: Fig. 9h.

Male: male sternite VIII: Fig. 9s8; aedoeagus lost: the specimen had been neatly mounted and dissected, with the aedoeagus glued to the bottom right of the mounting card, but this had become detached and lost before I received the material.

Female: sternite IX: Fig. 9vp.

This is one of the largest members of the O. Alatus group, comparable in size, proportions of the elytra and dark tibiae with sp. A3.
