A redescription of the genus, diagnostic information on the four described species, description of four new species from Brazil (O. chenae sp. nov., O. hamadae sp. nov., O. pydanieli sp. nov., and O. viannai sp. nov.), an identification key, photos, and illustrations of male genitalia of all the species are herein presented. To facilitate separation of the New World genera of the subfamily Veliinae, an updated identification key is also presented. |
