Figure 65, map 18, table 1, plates 22, 23

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by greenish to pale coloration with a contrasting dark spot on corium at inner angle of cuneus and at apex of membrane cells, elongate oval body (pl. 22), and slender endosoma with a single, undulating apical spine (fig. 65, pl. 23). Sexual dimorphism weak. Most similar to O. mangaensis in ovoid form of body, but O. boiada with a single, slender, sinuous, apical spine and O. mangaensis with two spines of unequal length, shorter one with a flattened apex; body form in O. charleville more strongly elongate and endosoma with a short tubercle on dorsal surface at level of proximal margin of secondary gonopore.

DESCRIPTION: MALE: Body form elongate ovoid; mean total length 4.19, mean pronotum width 1.12. COLORATION (pl. 22): Pale, nearly transparent, with dark spot on corium at inner angle of cuneus and on membrane at apex of cells. SURFACE AND VES- TITURE (pl. 22): Body surface smooth, weakly shining; vestiture of pale, reclining, common setae. STRUCTURE: Head (pl. 22): Moderately broad, closely conforming to anterior margin of pronotum, eyes weakly bulging; frons weakly projecting beyond anterior margin of eye; eye occupying two-thirds height of head; antenna inserted just above ventral margin of eye, eye emarginate at insertion, antennal segment 2 relatively short, stout, parallel sided (1.01), 1.18 times width of head; labium surpassing apex of metacoxa and reaching onto abdomen. Thorax (pl. 22): Pronotum with posterior margin weakly excavated; mesoscutum broadly exposed. Hemelytron: Corial margin weakly convex. GENITALIA (fig. 65, pl. 23): Pygophore: Two clumps of bristles ventrad of left paramere insertion. Endosoma: Dorsal strap extending beyond secondary gonopore as narrow slender undulating spine; ventral strap terminating just distad of gonopore as reflected hooplike sclerite. Phallotheca: Apical portion without dorsal crest; compressed ovoid aperture situated on anterior dorsal surface and reaching to apex; basal portion with long, narrow internal sclerite on right side. Parameres: Left paramere relatively short in dorsal view, dorsoposterior margin inflated and strongly elevated above posterior and anterior processes; apical portion of posterior process moderately long, straight; anterior process reduced to minute spine; prominent seta placed lateral of anterior point. Right paramere width gradually expanded toward apex, with prominent posterior angle and small point adjacent to anterior angle.

FEMALE (pl. 22): Coloration as in male; body form ovoid; eyes smaller, vertex relatively broader than in male; mean total length 3.83, mean pronotum width 1.16.

ETYMOLOGY: Named after Boiada Camp, Western Australia, near the type locality; a noun in apposition.

HOST: Recorded from Eremophila forrestii (pl. 37G) ( Scrophulariaceae ).

DISTRIBUTION (map 18): Known from Boiada and Lochada , Pilbara District, Western Australia.
