Comments. The diagnosis given above is based on the original description given by Yousuf & Shafee (1992). This species is similar to O. hilaris ( Perkins 1910) based on the brief notes and the figures given by Viggiani (1981), but differs from the latter by having the clava slightly more than 3× as long as broad without a rod-like projection, and fore wing without central row of setae distal to the stigmal vein. In O. hilaris the clava is about 4× as long as broad with a rod-like projection, and the fore wing has a central row of setae distal to the stigmal vein.
