Dorsum brown dark piceous, body size smaller than that of O. hispanicus , 6.0–7.5 mm, males shiny, females mat. Eye less convex, tempora long.

Pronotum transverse, narrowed anteriad, maximum width at middle, slightly constricted backward (Fig. 16); posterior angle obtuse, no or at most, slightly toothed; basis not emarginate; foveae well marked and usually punctured, space between side and external fovea notably convex.

Elytra relatively short and oval, sides slightly widened backward, narrowed close to basis, basis forming at humerus a fold that doesn’t protrude outside; parascutellar stria normally developed with a proximal hairy pore; intervals convex, striae smooth, second disk pore located variably: on the 2nd stria, in the interval between striae 2 and 3, close to stria 3.

Prosternal process rounded, ventral segments finely punctured and with rugose areas, metepisterna as long as wide (L/A 1.0). Male mesotibia somewhat enlarged apically, metatibia with crenulation moderately developed in apical internal side.

Apical shaft of median lobe of aedeagus well developed, as wide as long, evenly rounded to tip (Fig. 17); on lateral view almost straight; membranous sac open along the entire dorsal face. Spermatheca as described in O. hispanicus , with a notably dilated apical end (Fig. 1).
