Etymology.
The species name is derived from the
type
locality; noun in apposition.
Diagnosis.
The male of this new species resembles
O. longituba
Wang, Zhang & Zhang, 2012
, but can be distinguished by the wide, blunt tip of the RTA in dorsolateral view (
vs
rectangular) and the triangular conductor (
vs
oval) in the male (compare
Fig. 4E–F
with fig. 5E–G in
Wang
et al.
2012
). Females can be separated from
O. longituba
by the long and more curved copulatory ducts (
vs
short and simply curved) and the copulatory openings well separated from each other (
vs
close together) (compare
Fig. 4G–H
with fig. 5H–I in
Wang
et al.
2012
).
