Differential diagnosis. Differentiated from most other members of the O. (A.) tenuipunctus Group by the combination of the small size and wide body form, and by the aedeagus. Differentiated from the similarly wide and small species O. (A.) latissimus by the very uniform serial rows of elytral punctures, and by the aedeagus. The aedeagus ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 ) distal tip of the main-piece is shallowly bifid; this is illustrated by Perkins (2017), but the sides of the main-piece, which are produced as points, were obscured on the specimen by the closely fitting paramere tips. The aedeagus is more completely illustrated herein ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 ).
