Most O. salebrosus are easily identifiable, except for female specimens from the southeastern United States where O. calcarifer and O. larvatus occur. In particular, small and abraded specimens require direct comparison with typical specimens. As in O. umbellae, reliable identification may be possible only when representative material of both sexes is available for study. (1)
