Morphology Body length: ♂ 5.2–6.4 mm, ♀ 6.4–7.3 mm. Head: Vertex (total length) 2.9–3.9 times longer than wide; basal emargination acutely angled or rectangular. Postclypeus with welldeveloped median carina. Rostrum reaching or not reaching hind coxae. Thorax: Hind margin of pronotum obtusely angled. Mesonotum with evanescent or welldeveloped carinae. Forewing 3.0–3.2 times longer than wide; costa without tubercles; 9 apical cells.

Flagellum membranous, unarmed. Remarks In the original description Muir (1924)states that the typeseries consists of 3 malesand 4 females. However, we can only confirm the presence of 2 malesand 2 femalesin the collection of the BPBM. Van Stalle (1991)makes the following comment in the remarks section of the species description of O. busoensis, “The reference “Type Nr 1092” in the original description is considered as a holotypedesignation.”
