Diagnosis. The male of
O. limushan
resembles
O. jianfengling
in having similar median plate, but the male can be distinguished from it by: 1) shorter and thinner embolus; 2) hilt-like tegular apophysis; 3) thinner
RTA
; 4) smaller
FA
. This new species also resembles
O. florifera
sp. nov.
in having a similar
RTA
, but can be separated from the latter by: 1) thicker and straight copulatory ducts, 2) broader median plate, 3) thinner
RTA
, and 4) no body stripes.

Distribution.
China
(
Hainan
).
Note.
Otacilia limushan
was originally described by Fu, Zhang & Zhu (2010) on the basis of a female
holotype
collected from Mt. Limu,
Hainan Province
,
China
. While examining the
Otacilia
specimens collected from Mt. Limu in 2015, we easily identified the female as
O. limushan
according to the original description, and considered that the male specimen also belongs to the same species because the habitus and the marking are very similar to those of the female. Therefore the male
O. limushan
is reported for the first time.
