Systematics: Om. maecharai resembles the Nepalese species Ortheziolamameti Loebli (Tichard) and the Taiwanese species Om. taipensiana Shiau & Kozár in having hair-like rather than spine-like setae on the antennae. However, it differs from Om. loebli in having multilocular pores around the vulva; and from Om taipensiana in the shape of wax plates 9 and 10, with wax plate 9 being very broad and almost an equilateral triangle in shape, and wax plate 10 being rather narrow posteriorly and along most of its length, but then widening suddenly near the anterior margin. Om. taipensiana is narrow and elongated, in the shape of an isosceles triangle, while wax plate 10 on Om. maeharai widens gradually from posterior to anerior margin.
Structure: 3 segmented antennae with the 3rd segment nearly parallel sided; flagellate sensory seta near apical seta; microseta absent; and unusual hair-like seta absent from near subapicalseta; all segments covered with hair=like setae. All legs with rows of robust setae. Wax plates present on marginal areas of head and thorax, with a wide marginal wax band surrounding each thoracic spiracle. Abdominal spiracles not detected. Wax plates covering all of dorsal surface. A group of disc pores, each with 8 loculi, present around anal ring.
