When Chevrolat (1860) described the genus as a subgenus of Clytus View in CoL , he included two very similar species, O. brevicornis View in CoL and O. virescens View in CoL . According to Chevrolat (1860), O. brevicornis View in CoL and O. virescens View in CoL are similar (“Cet insecte [ O. brevicornis View in CoL ] est très voisin du Cl. virescens View in CoL ”), but the latter differs in the antennomeres VI–XI longer, antennal coloration, and prothorax longer than width. In this case, sexual dimorphism is evident (similar to O. viridiventris View in CoL ). In females, the antennae are always shorter with the last antennomeres wider, the pubescence is sligtly darker (bright in some specimens), and the longitudinal line of light-yellow pubescence that extends from the scutellum to elytral apex is more visible. On the other hand, the males have the brightest pubescence on the body, and the longitudinal band on the elytra is evident, and with the transverse pubescent band near half of the elytra less obvious, but always present. The prothorax and apex of the elytra are features nearly identical in the type material of both species. The frons and the shape of the anteclypeus and labrum ( Fig. 4A–B View Fig ) are other diagnostic characters to propose O. virescens View in CoL as a junior synonym of O. brevicornis View in CoL .
