Comment
: The shape of the ventral process (lateral view) of the above material slightly differs from that of the
holotype
(
PACE 2007
: figure 30), but otherwise the specimens are in agreement with the description and illustrations provided by
BERNHAUER (1929)
and
PACE (2007)
. Based on the external and sexual characters (see
ASSING 2016b
), this species is tentatively attributed to the
O. retunsus
subgroup. It is distinguished from the species previously assigned to this subgroup, however, by relatively large body size, the rather broad median lobe of the aedeagus (lateral view), and a different morphology of the parameres.
