[2] Due to its extremely limited known range, Oligocentria pinalensis is at a high risk of becoming extinct from isolated events, such as a forest fire.

[1][2] There is not enough current population data to make a full conclusion of its present status.

They have a well developed proboscis that is coiled and their abdomen is densely covered in long slender scales and tufts.

They are dull-colored, usually being brown, tan or gray or varying mixtures of the three colors.

The larvae have bare stout bodies, and have two MD setae above their spiracle on their abdomen, versus the usual one for other members of Oligocentria.
