REMARKS

The material examined shares the key diagnostic characters of O. fibriophthalmus Yokoya, 1933 : eye peduncles that extend a long distance beyond the distal margin of the orbits, granular surface of the quadrate carapace, presence of one anterolateral prominence on each side of the carapace, and the absence of a distal tooth on the dorsal margin of the meri of the slender ambulatory legs (see Yokoya 1933: fig. 66; Serène & Vadon 1981: pl. 2, figs E, F). The G1 is slender, with a long, straight tip; the G2 slightly longer than the G1 and with a slightly curved flagellum.

The stridulating mechanism of the species has been described by Guinot-Dumortier & Dumortier (1960: 121, fig. 3).
