Diagnosis.
Male. Closely resembling
O. pechana
and
O. walpolica
in general features such as scales on the wing and clasper-shaped inferior appendages, but distinguished from both these species by shorter phallus with the paramere only slightly curved, and inferior appendages divergent apically, rather than convergent.
Distribution.
Known only from Tas.
Remarks.
Neboiss, 1977
compared this species to the
New Zealand
Oecetis unicolor
McLachlan and Chatham I.
O. chathamensis
Tillyard
and it certainly resembles those species more closely than it does Australian species.
