C o m m e n t: The original description is based on a single female (
ASSING 2009
); the
type
locality is identical to the locality where the above specimens were collected. An examination of the male sexual characters (
Figs 18-19
,
36-37
) revealed that the species belongs to
Oroekklina
PACE 1999
. From the other three species of the genus,
O. daxuensis
PACE 1999 (
Sichuan
)
,
O. proiecta
ASSING 2002 (
Sichuan
)
, and
O. smetanai
PACE 2004 (
Yunnan
)
, it is readily distinguished by the much paler coloration (whole body reddishyellow) alone.
