Notes

KÜKENTHAL treated the New Guinean specimens as a distinct species, O. clemensiae, but they perfectly agree with Tasmanian material of 0. pumilio in L. The species has been recorded also for N. S. Wales and New Zealand, but according to S. T. BLAKE, l.c., all the specimens from those regions belong to other species.
