This genus was erected by Meinert in 1865 with O. para- 
doxus as the type and sole species. Members of this genus may 
be recognized by the finely haired wing membrane and the 2 or 3 
simple veins in connection with the biarticulate tarsi, the first seg- 
ment being shorter than the second. The mouth parts are rudi- 
‘mentary or wanting.

This species was taken on a window at Albany, N. Y., July 15, 
1907 and was presumably reared from material brought into the 
office. 
Female. Length I mm. Antennae extending to the second ab- 
dominal segment, pale yellowish; 13 segments, the fifth and follow- 
ing sessile, cylindric, with a length about one-fourth greater than 
the diameter ; terminal segment reduced, narrowly rounded apically 
and irregularly clothed with long, chitinous spines. Palpi apparently 
wanting, eyes small, brown, ocelli absent; face yellowish. Meson- 
otum light brown, pleurae pale orange. Scutellum and postscutel- 
lum light fuscous yellowish. Abdomen pale yellowish, the basal 
and distal segments pale orange, the ovipositor pale white. Wings 
long, narrow, hyaline, costa pale yellowish, subcosta uniting w ith 
the anterior margin at the basal third, the third vein near the basal 
half, the fifth indistinct distally, joining the posterior margin at 
the basal half, its branch at the basal fourth, entire margin thickly 
clothed with long, rather stout hairs. Halteres yellowish trans- 
parent. Legs pale yellowish white. Coxae short, irregular; femora 
long, stout, fusiform, tibiae a little longer, with weak spines apically, 
tarsi biarticulate, the first segment about three-fourths the length 
of the slender second. Claws short, stout, slightly curved; pulvilli
