Holotype.

Remarks.

The holotype could not be examined nor photographed as it was on loan at the time of writing. The data provided here were taken from Weidner (1959) and Fet (2000c). Prendini (2001: 29) confirmed the synonymy of O. calvus with O. latimanus after examination of the present holotype.
