*Genus

Newman, 1833
Distributions confirm identifications on morphological basis from
New South Wales
and
Victoria
as
O. sabina
and
O. villosovittatum
and from north-western
Australia
as
O. migratum
. Larvae from northern
Australia
identified based on morphology as
O. sabina
may belong to either
O. sabina
or
O. serapia
.
O. caledonicum
can also be confidently identified if the larvae do not come from coastal south-eastern
Queensland
and coastal north-eastern
New South Wales
where
O. boumiera
occurs in dune situations (
Theischinger 2007a
).
