Etymology
. The species name is descriptive for the long, narrow pygofer ventral process.
Remarks.
Olidiana lanceolata
sp. nov.
has male genital structures similar to the Chinese species
O. tongmaienesis
(
Zhang 1994
)
but differs in having the caudoventral pygofer process unforked apically as in
O
.
tongmalen- esis
. It also resembles
O. pectita
(Distant)
but differs in having a longer caudoventral pygofer process with narrow pointed apex that exceeds the dorsal pygofer margin.
