Diagnosis: This species is similar to O. porcus in having occiput widely orange-yellow, but clearly differs from it by having almost entirely black femora and tibiae, microtrichose areas on abdominal tergites 3 and 4 laterally not reaching tergite margins (see Fig 20) (in O. porcus and O. ruficeps , microtrichose areas on abdominal tergites 3 and 4 laterally reaching tergite margins). It clearly differs from both O. porcus and O. ruficeps by the lateral surstyli of male narrow and separated from medial surstyli (see Kameneva, 1997 (as O. bacescui ) (in O. porcus and O. ruficeps surstyli robust and widely fused).

Description: see Kameneva, 1997 (as O. bacescui ).
