Distribution.

The two Brazilian species ( O. brasilianus Humbert & Saussure, 1879) was recorded in Rio Grande do Norte and Mato Grosso, and ( O. porosus Verhoeff, 1937) was recorded in Minas Gerais and São Paulo ( Bücherl 1942, Bonato et al. 2016). This study presents the first occurrence of this genus in Brazilian caves.
