Diagnosis
. Forewing length scarcely 4 times maximum width, spotted and moth-like, but with wing markings on the forewing smaller than in
O. cepaforma
, fork 1 on forewing sessile. In male genitalia inferior appendages with length about equal to 3 times width, without a small spur on the basomesial angle; tergite X truncate apically.
Description
. Spurs 1, 2, 2. Male forewing length
6.1–6.4 mm
. Wings, broad and spotted, forewing (Fig. 88) with fork 1 sessile and posterior anastomosis stepped, with t1 more distal than t3 which is more distal than t2. Genitalia, Figs 89, 90. Segment IX widest midlaterally, preanal appendages large, rounded to broadly conical in dorsal view, in contact in midline, but not fused. Segment X broad, apically truncate, without medial process. Inferior appendages clasper-shaped, widely separated at bases, curving outwards beyond a mesial angle bearing a cluster of short stout setae. Phallus very short.
Distribution
. Northern NT and northern Qld (Fig. 128).
