Comment: The original description of O. pubescens is based on one specimen collected "vermuthlich aus der Umgebung von Genua" deposited in the Bernhauer collection and several additional specimens "von Genua" deposited "in der Sammlung Dodero's" (BERNHAUER 1902). The specimen from the Bernhauer collection, a female, is designated as the lectotype. It is conspecific and placed in synonymy with O. carbonaria (HEER) .
