Dorsal surfaces devoid of microsculpture. Pubescence sparse, pale, moderately long, semi-erect.

Together with O. vexans sp. n. this new species is distinguished from other members of the O. Alatus group by its large size, large elytra and the extensive infuscation of the legs. The conformation of the female sternite IX and vulvar plate clearly differentiates it from O. vexans .
