O. (A.) tenuipunctus Régimbart 1906 View in CoL

Members of the O. (A.) tenuipunctus species group are immediately recognized by the very smooth dorsum, especially the elytra (e.g., Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ). O. (A.) tenuipunctus Régimbart was originally described from Kenya. Among the specimens available for this study from Kenya are two species in the O. (A.) tenuipunctus species group. Based on the description published by Orchymont (1929), one of these species has been determined to be O. (A.) tenuipunctus Régimbart. This decision needs to be verified by examining, including the male genitalia, type specimens of O. (A.) tenuipunctus Régimbart , which should be in the Régimbart collection at the Paris Museum (MNHN).
