Material. Type material. Holotype, 1 male slide-mounted in Canada balsam, PERU: Manu: Pillcopata: Villa Carmen ACCA, trails 1/5/7, 12.88778°S 71.40194°W, 515 m, 25 Nov 2011 – 26 Nov 2011, Heraty, Weirauch, Portillo, Yellow Pan Trap (ED_0412) (UCR_ENT 00086134) (MUSM).

Diagnosis. Recognized among species of Ommatides by males submacropterous with small membrane not reaching tip of abdomen; dorsal lobe of 1st labial segment with apex rounded and with many (~22) short, stout setae; 4th labial segment without armature; abdominal spiracle 8 set upon membranous tubercle of tergum 8 process. Most similar to O. pristis sp. nov. in the lack of armature on the 4 th labial segment, but distinguished by being submacropterous, and by the state of spiracle 8.

Description. Male: submacropterous with short membrane not reaching tip of abdomen, length: 1.67 mm; body ovoid. COLORATION: wings and pronotum dark brown; vertex of head yellow; body brown; legs yellow (Fig. 1). SURFACE AND VESTITURE: dorsal lobe of expanded 1st labial segment with many (~22) short, stout setae; 4th labial segment without armature; forefemur without anterior spicules; 2nd tarsomere of hind leg with 2 stout setae anteroventrally. STRUCTURE. HEAD: disc decurrent anteriorly; 1st labial segment strongly expanded dorsally, apex rounded; 2nd labial segment elongate; 3rd labial segment short; 4th labial segment slightly longer than 3rd and unarmed (Fig. 5). THORAX: ratio of pronotal collar length to pronotum length 0.29; collar depressed below rest of pronotum (Fig. 1); posterolateral margin of pronotum somewhat broadly and shallowly concave; postnotum unknown; ratio of height of forefemur to length of forefemur 0.25; tarsal formula 3-3-3; ratio of length of hind tibia to width of pronotum 1.33; venation of submacropterous forewing as in Fig. 7; tc nearly rectangular; dc shaped like a long parallelogram; An1 meeting Cu. ABDOMEN AND GENITALIA: as in genus description (Fig. 9 A,B), with abdominal spiracle 8 membranous and separated from sclerotized tergum 8 process (Fig. 6).

Female: unknown.
