Comment:
Comments: A distinctive form diagnosed as a subspecies of O. anchietae by its describers and thereafter placed in taxonomic compendia (Bohmann, 1952; Misonne, 1974; Musser and Carleton, 1993). Morphological contrasts noted and specific status reasserted by Dieterlen and Van der Straeten (1992); morphological and morphometric discrimination amplified by Taylor and Kimurai (2001)
