Oliarus asaica Kirkaldy, 1906: 399 View in CoL .

Type material Syntype, ♀ (examined), AUSTRALIA, NSW: Sydney , i.1905 ( BPBM) .

Colour

Body mid brown, carinae paler; legs light to mid brown; forewing hyaline colourless with brown marks along crossveins, veins light brown, tubercles concolorous, pterostigma mid brown; abdominal sternites mid brown.

Morphology

Body length: ♀ 6.9 mm.

Head: Vertex (total length) 1.7 times longer than wide; basal emargination obtusely angled. Postclypeus with welldeveloped median carina. Rostrum surpassing hind coxae.

Thorax: Hind margin of pronotum obtusely angled or rectangular. Mesonotum with welldeveloped carinae. Forewing 3.4 times longer than wide; costa without tubercles; 9–10 apical cells.

Male genitalia: Unknown (only known specimen is a female).

Remarks

Based on the chaetotaxy of the hind leg (3 lateral spines on tibia, 7 apical teeth on 1 st and 2 nd tarsomere) this species is transferred to the genus Ozoliarus . Because of the absence of male genitalia O. asaica cannot be reliably matched with any species within this genus; therefore, it regarded as a nomen dubium.
