Additional information According to Aurivillius - this species was collected from gills of lobsters. In Aurivillius 1894 - when he described the O. angulata - he pointed out there is a non-obvious tergum . However, Annandale (1909) considered O. angulata and O. bullata were synonym as the presence or absences of the amorphous tergum appears to be intra-specific variations (supported by Nilsson-Cantell, 1934). Zevina (1982) also considered O. bullata and O. angulata are synonym. Jones and Hosie (2016) still considered these are two species. The taxonomic status of these two species should be tested using molecular analysis (From Benny Chan). [details]
