Remarks. Scarbrough (2008) and Vieira et al. (2010) commented on the similarity between O. pulcher ( Figs 15, 16) and O. ruficaudus ( Figs 17–30). After studying the type material of O. ruficaudus ( Figs 17–30), we observed that, although the bodies of the specimens are covered with fungi, the male terminalia of O. ruficaudus and the illustrations of O. pulcher are essentially identical. Furthermore, Curran (1928) separated the two species by the coloration of genitalia of both sexes, reddish and shinning black, respectively. In O. pulcher and O. ruficaudus the apical scutellar setae are absent and both have the clavate abdomen. Vieira et al. (2010) mentioned that the type-locality of O. ruficaudus is Chapada dos Guimarães ( Brazil) and Scarbrough (2008) wrote that additional specimens of this species have not been located. We found nine specimens that were collected at the type-locality during the SISBIOTA – Diptera project. These specimens were identified as O. pulcher . Thus, after the combination of data from distinct sources, O. ruficaudus is established as a new synonym of O. pulcher .

Holotype condition. Body largely covered with fungi, postpedicel on both antennae lost, head partially damaged, left mid leg and left hind tibia lost.
