( Figs 1–20 ) Material examined. Holotype ♂ , China , Hainan Province , Ledong County , Mt. Jianfengling , Main Peak ( 18°43′47″N , 108°52′21″E ), 31 January 2015 , Li-Na Fu leg. Paratypes : 7♂ , 2♀ , Chi Jin , Bao-Shi Zhang leg., other data as holotype . Etymology. The specific name comes from the Latin word ‘ arc ’, combined with the prefix ‘ bi -’, referring to the two arc-shaped copulatory ducts; adjective. Diagnosis. Among the congeners, the new species is characteristic in having two arc-shaped copulatory ducts; and long sickle-shaped embolus. It resembles O. sinifera Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001 in having similar copulatory ducts, but can be distinguished by: 1) longer and thicker embolus; 2) copulatory openings anteriorly; 3) wooden-stick-shaped bursae. The female of the new species can be separated from O. limushan , O. jianfengling and O . bawangling by: 1) absence of median plate; 2) smaller copulatory openings; 3) wooden-stick-shaped bursae.
