  • Oliarus doddi Muir nom. dub. (Figs 11A–D) Oliarus doddi Muir, 1931: 64. Type material Holotype by monotypy, ♀ (examined), AUSTRALIA, Qld: Townsville, 24.x.1903 (BPBM). Colour Vertex dark brown, carinae and lateral portions light brown; frons light brown; clypeus dark brown, carinae light brown; pronotum pale yellow; mesonotum light brown, with dark brown marks; legs light to mid brown; forewing hyaline colourless with brown marks along crossveins and three brown transverse bands across wing, veins and tubercles concolorous with cells, pterostigma light to dark brown; abdominal sternites mid brown. Morphology Body length: ♀ 6.6 mm. Head: Vertex (total length) 1.6 times longer than wide; basal emargination obtusely angled. Postclypeus with well­developed median carina. Thorax: Hind margin of pronotum obtusely angled. Mesonotum with well­developed carinae. Forewing 3.1 times longer than wide; costa with 0–1 tubercle; 8 apical cells. Male genitalia: Unknown (only known specimen is a female). Remarks The narrow vertex and the chaetotaxy of the hind leg (2 lateral spines on the tibia, 7 apical teeth on the 1 st tarsomere, and 5 apical teeth on the 2 nd tarsomere) verify the placement within the genus Oliarus. Because of the absence of male specimens this species cannot be reliably identified. For this reason O. doddi is regarded as a nomen dubium.
