Etymology Named after the arrangement of spines on the phallotheca which resembles the hanging branches of some trees of the genus Salix . Colour Head light brown, carinae paler, anteclypeus darker; pronotum light brown; mesonotum mid brown (sometimes paler between lateral and sublateral carinae); legs light brown; forewing hyaline colourless with brown marks along crossveins, veins light brown, apically darker, tubercles concolorous with veins, pterostigma light to mid brown; abdominal sternites light brown. Morphology Body length: ♂ 6.1–7.0 mm. Head: Vertex (total length) 1.6–2.0 times longer than wide; basal emargination acutely angled, rectangular or obtusely angled. Postclypeus with well­developed median carina. Rostrum reaching hind coxae. Thorax: Hind margin of pronotum obtusely angled. Mesonotum with evanescent or well­developed carinae. Forewing 3.0–3.3 times longer than wide; costa with 0–1 tubercles; 9 apical cells. Male genitalia: Anal tube as in Figs 48E–G ; pygophore and genital styles as in Figs 48C–D . Aedeagus ( Figs 48A–B ): Phallotheca with a spine (a) forking into a short branch (a1) and a long branch (a2); a spine (b) forking into two long branches (b1, b2); a very short spine (c); and a slender spine (d). Flagellum sclerotised, unarmed. Remarks The general arrangement of spines on the phallotheca resembles that of Ot. lubra ; it differs from Ot. lubra in the presence of only two branches of spine (b), instead of three branches.
