Diagnostic features.
This new species closely resembles
Oxyopes sertatus
L. Koch,
1877
but separated from the latter by the (
1
) unidentate promarginal and retromarginal tooth of chelicerae, (
2
) shape of the abdomen, and (
3
) number of trichobothria in tibia IV.
Etymology.
The specific epithet is derived
from the single tooth ("isang ipin") in Tagalog.
