Yes. Exactly: Head, eyes, and temple (space behind eyes to rear of head). Actually 3 species in U.S., O. acuminatus in FL from a shipment of neem seeds (neem tree has insect repellent and insecticidal properties), but not established in 1983. Not sure if this is still correct or not. There are 15 species world-wide. Typical pest species are the 2 commonly encountered ones, O. surinamensis and O. mercator.
