Remarks — The specimens from Western Australia differ in a number of characters from the specimens from eastern Australia . One of the coxal glandularia is much more distanced from the periphery, and the number of 4-7 swimming setae is lower the ten swimming setae in the populations from eastern Australia . There is also much variation between the specimens from Western Australia . The palp varies from somewhat stocky to slender ( Figures 6 A-B), the length of IV-leg-6 varies from 96-140 (in the holotype 96). As all specimens from Western Australia have the striations on the expanded coxae, they are, for the time being, assigned O. to striatus . Distribution — Previously reported from Tasmania and Victoria , and reported here for the first time from Western Australia .
