Differential diagnosis.
O. huaphanensis
sp. nov.
resembles
O. habashanensis
sp. nov.
in general appearance and coloration.
O. huaphanensis
has larger eyes than
O. habashanensis
(male interocular distance 1.02 and 1.26 times eye diameter, respectively), further
O. huaphanensis
has light coloured apical processes of the scutellum (
Fig. 12
). These two species differ also in the shape of phallus, especially in the shape of the apex (
Figs. 25–28
).
Description.
Adult. Body ~
10 mm
long, 3.9 – 4.6 times longer than width at humeri (
Fig. 3
); dark brown, head, antennae and legs brown, covered with short pubescence; elytra and pronotum ochreous, scutellum brown to light brown basally, with yellow apical processes. Head with relatively large eyes, their interocular distance 1.00– 1.04 times maximum eye diameter in males, 1.22 times larger in females. Male antennae with flabellate antennomeres 3–10 (
Fig. 17
), female antennae serrate. Pronotum trapezoidal, 1.3–1.4 times wider at base than long at midline in males (
Fig. 9
) and 1.3 times wider at base than long at midline in female; pronotal disc with seven inconspicuous areolae (
Fig. 9
), with obtuse and robust basal carinae, fronto-lateral carinae much weaker to missing anteriorly, postero-lateral carinae inconspicuous. Scutellum emarginate, with two prominent, slender processes (
Fig. 12
). Elytra 3.7–4.0 times longer than wide at humeri in males, 3.5 times longer than wide at humeri in females, slightly widened posteriorly with four primary and irregular, partly missing secondary costae (
Fig. 18
). Male genitalia club-shaped, widest in anterior part, with widely rounded apex, and two thorns apically (
Figs. 27– 28
). Female genitalia with slender coxites and short, s-shaped valvifers, coxites about 3 times longer than valvifers; vagina wide, membranous with partly sclerotized glandular ducts (
Fig. 33
).
