Etymology.
The specific name refers to the type locality, Bijiashan; adjective.
Differential diagnosis.
The new species differs from
O. fabiformis
Liu, Xu, Xiao, Yin & Peng, 2019 and
O. hippocampa
Jin, Fu, Yin & Zhang, 2016 by the short hook-shaped embolus (Figs
9D
,
11A, B
) (vs. spine-like in
O. fabiformis
and
O. hippocampa
), and the C-shaped spermathecae (Fig.
10D
) (vs. peanut-like in
O. fabiformis
and globular in
O. hippocampa
).
