Introduction

This species was grouped with O. quadratistylus Löcker, O. semicircularis Löcker and O. triangularis Löcker as the "triangularis group" on the basis of the following shared features: ventral ridge of phallotheca with two or three humps; presence of a large bi- or trifurcate spine ventral on phallotheca; left lobe of pygophore larger than right lobe; genital styles spoon-shaped in ventral view; fork of Pcu+A1 distinctly basad of the centre of clavus. The species is based on three specimens from the north Brigalow Belt of Queensland.
