Distributions confirm identifications on morphological basis from New South Wales and Victoria as O. sabina and O. villosovittatum and from north-western Australia as O. migratum . Larvae from northern Australia identified based on morphology as O. sabina may belong to either O. sabina or O. serapia . O. caledonicum can also be confidently identified if the larvae do not come from coastal south-eastern Queensland and coastal north-eastern New South Wales where O. boumiera occurs in dune situations ( Theischinger 2007a).
