Etymology.
The specific name comes from the combination: sub- +
mirabilis
, refers to the similarity between this new species and
O. mirabilis
.
Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
O. mirabilis
Zhang, Yang & Zhu, 2005
and
O. gaofengensis
Zhang, Zhang & Kim, 2005
, but can be separated from
O. mirabilis
by the width of two spermathecae / width of median sclerotized plate = 4.0 (
1.5 in
O. mirabilis
); from
O. gaofengensis
by the complicated twisting of the copulatory ducts (simple in
O. gaofengensis
), the tip of sclerotozed plate is convex (concave in
O. gaofengensis
).
