Etymology.
The specific name is from a Latin word ‘
digitatus
’, and refers to the finger-shaped RTA; adjective.
Diagnosis.
The new species is similar to
O. pseudostella
(
Fu
et al.
2014
: 488, figs 3A–G, 4A–E), but can be distinguished by: 1) PEA short and sharp (longer and blunt in
O. pseudostella
); 2) an E that is relatively short (longer in
O. pseudostella
); 3) BTA absent (present in
O. pseudostella
); 4) a finger-shaped RTA (with a wide base and sharp tip in
O. pseudostella
). The new species is also similar to
O. zhangi
(
Fu
et al.
2014
: 490, fig 5A–F), but can be distinguished from it by: 1) PEA short and sharp (longer and blunt in
O. zhangi
); 2) a relatively short E (longer in
O. zhangi
); 3) a finger-shaped RTA (with a wide base and sharp tip in
O. zhangi
). Female unknown.
