Remarks.
These two males have genitalia (aedeagus) not asymmetric, contrary as shown in
Massa & Fontana (2007)
and Massa (2012). It is not possible to distinguish the male genitalia from
O. simulans
which has variable genitalia (
Massa & Fontana 2007
). But it is distinguished by the straighter pronotum in lateral view (convex in
O. simulans
), the stouter and slightly more depressed body dorso-ventrally (more slender and compressed laterally in
O. simulans
), the weak lateral carinae of frontal ridge just below the median ocellus (more distinct in
O. simulans
). The
type
localities of both species are very close in the same mountain ridge in
Lebanon
.
