Material examined. Ninety-two samples from Qld, Vic., NSW, Tas., SA and the NT.
Diagnosis. In males closely resembling O. burtoni in wing form, and most similar to O. theischingeri in form of the inferior appendages, but distinguished from both species by the acute ventro-mesial processes on the inferior appendages and from the latter by the downy vestiture on the inferior appendages, the acute apices on the ventro-mesial processes and the whip-like flagellum into which the paramere of the phallus extends.
Forewing length, 6.4–7.0 mm.
Distribution. Widespread in eastern Australia, from Tas. to northern Qld and also collected from Kangaroo I., SA, and the north-west of the NT.
