Etymology.
The name of the species is descriptive for the varied length of the accessory processes on the aedeagal subapical spine.
Remarks.
Olidiana inaequabilia
is similar to species which have setose aedeagal spine (
O. genista
(Nielson)
,
O. laminispinosa
(Zhang)
,
O. zhengi
(Zhang))
and can be distinguished from them by the much narrower aedeagal spine and length of its accessory processes.
