From the original description of Cryptolabis tonnoiri Alexander, 1926 . “Venation: Sc1 ending opposite the fork of R 2+3, Sc2 opposite the fork of Rs, the latter in alignment with R 4+5; m-cu near mid-length of M3+4, the petiole of cell M3 a little longer than m-cu”. “Hypopygium with the basistyles stout, their bases nearly glabrous, the outer lateral portions with setae that become long and conspicuous near the outer lateral angles. Dististyle (d) fleshy at base, the apex produced into a slender, straight, black spine, the tip acute. From between the styli juts a powerful median spine, whose homologies cannot be stated, but which may represent the tergite (t?). The phallosome (p) is a stout, sinuous, or slightly convoluted blackened tube that extends back into the abdomen to the seventh segment, the apex terminating into a long acute spine, the base with two bars that are broadly expanded at tips, the notch between very deep and narrowly U-shaped” ( Figs 25, 26 View Figures 25, 26 ).

456 Records of the Australian Museum (2018) Vol. 70 Discussion. Differences between males of Ozeoura convoluta , O. hemmingseni , O. tasmanica and O. tonnoiri are described above, under O. convoluta . The characters most useful for the identification of male O. tonnoiri are the powerful spine-tipped aedeagal guide and simple acutely pointed gonostyli. Ozeoura tonnoiri is known from a number of localities in eastern New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and Victoria.
