Description. Length.
Male 7.50 mm., female unknown.
External morphology.
Moderately long, slightly robust species. General color black with numerous, tiny yellow markings on pronotum, mesonotum and forewings; crown dark brown, marked by black spots; eyes dark brown; face pale yellow with 2 orange, longitudinal stripes in inner lateral margins of clypeus; clypeus dark orange; head narrower than pronotum, obtusely rounded anteriorly; crown narrow, narrower than width of eyes, slightly produced anteriorly beyond eyes, lateral margins convergent basally; eyes large, elongate ovoid; pronotum large, slightly longer medially than crown, surface bullated; mesonotum very large, nearly twice as long medially than pronotum; venation of forewings typical; clypeus long, narrow, lateral margins broadly convex; clypellus short, narrow, about 1/3 as long as clypeus, apex inflated laterally.
Male genitalia.
Pygofer in lateral view triangulate, small lobe apically, small digitate caudoventral lobe, glabrous (
Fig. 189
); aedeagus long, tubular sinuate in dorsal and lateral views, shaft inflated in basal 1/3, in dorsal view, apical process recurved, bifurcate, each arm long, outer arm with medial process, toothed apically, outer arm with basal spur, serrate in distal half (
Fig. 190, 191
); style very long, in dorsal view apophysis narrow in distal half, in lateral view apophysis very broad, constricted in apical 1/ 3, slightly concave apically (
Fig. 192, 193
); dorsal connective short, narrow (
Fig. 190
); connective moderately large, anterior arms narrow with median ridge, stem very small, sub-ovate (

Etymology.
The name of the species is descriptive for the 2 digitate, apical processes of the aedeagus.
Remarks.
From
O. bispiculata
,
sp. nov.
to which it is similar in aedeagal features,
tuberis
can be distinguished by the long robust style in lateral view, narrow subgenital plate and presence of a digitate caudoventral process on the pygofer.
