Figures 64, 68, map 18, table 1, plates 22, 23, 51A, C, E

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by yellowish to pale coloration with a strong, contrasting dark spot on corium at inner angle of cuneus, elongate oval body (pl. 22), and endosoma with a longer undulating apical spine and a shorter capitate (apically flattened) spine (fig. 68, pl. 23). Sexual dimorphism weak. Most similar to O. boiada in ovoid form of body, but O. mangaensis with two spines of unequal length, the shorter one with a flattened apex, rather than a single, slender, sinuous, apical spine as in O. boiada ; body form in O. charleville more strongly elongate and endosoma with a short tubercle on dorsal surface at level of proximal margin of secondary gonopore.

DESCRIPTION: MALE: Elongate ovoid; mean total length 4.46, mean pronotum width 1.06. COLORATION (pl. 22): Pale, dirty yellow (in preserved specimens), almost transparent, with strong dark spot on corium at inner angle of cuneus and weak spot on mem ‐ brane at apex of cells. SURFACE AND VESTITURE (fig. 64A–C, pl. 22): Body surface smooth, weakly shining; vestiture of pale, reclining, common setae. STRUC- TURE: Head (fig. 64A, pl. 22): Not closely conforming to anterior margin of pronotum, eyes weakly bulging; eye occupying two-thirds height of head; antennae inserted just above ventral margin of eye, eye emarginate above insertion; antennal segment 2 relatively short, stout, weakly tapering proximally (1.08), 1.40 times width of head; labium reaching posterior margin of mesosternum. Thorax (pl. 22): Pronotum flat, humeral angles slightly projecting, posterior margin weakly excavated, mesoscutum broadly exposed. Thoracic pleuron as in figure 64D). Pretarsus as in figure 64E, F. Hemelytron: Corial margin weakly convex. GENITALIA (fig. 68, pl. 23): Pygophore: With a long bristle on either side of ventrad of aperture. Endosoma: Dorsal and ventral straps diverging medially, confluent at level of secondary gonopore; dorsal strap bifid distad of secondary gonopore, forming one longer, sharply pointed, curved spine and one shorter capitate spine; ventral strap terminating proximal of secondary gonopore with short, pointed, bifid apex. Phallotheca: Apical portion with prominent short crest; compressed ovoid aperture situated on anterior surface. Parameres: Left paramere with typical phyline form; dorsoposterior margin slightly elevated above posterior and anterior processes; anterior process short, prominent seta placed on lateral surface of lobe. Right paramere with sub ‐ parallel undulating margins and a truncate apex.

FEMALE (pl. 22): Coloration as in male; somewhat more strongly ovoid than male; mean total length 4.00, mean pronotum width 1.07. GENITALIA as in plate 51A, C, E.

ETYMOLOGY: Derived from Manga Road, a locality in Western Australia where many of the known specimens were collected.

HOSTS: Recorded from Eremophila clarkei (pl. 37D, E), E. oldfieldii , and Eremophila sp. ( Scrophulariaceae ).

DISTRIBUTION (map 18): Known from the central coast of Western Australia and adjacent inland areas.

DISCUSSION: The twist in the endosoma of this taxon is reminiscent of some species of Gryophallus (e.g., G. karara ), but without the billowy apical membrane and the divergent spines.
