Type material.

Holotype: ♂ (SYNU-776), China, Yunnan, Mengla Co., Menglun Town, XNNR, fogging, seasonal rainforest, 55 Km (21°57.953'N, 101°12.305'E), elev. 781 m, 13 August 2011, Zheng, Zhao & Gao leg. Paratypes: 5♂ (SYNU-819-823), same data as for holotype.

Etymology.

The specific name refers to the similarities to O. clavulata .

Diagnosis.

The new species is similar to O. clavulata and O. menglun sp. nov. in having the pear-shaped bulb and the net-shaped pattern on carapace, but can be distinguished by the endites with triangular outgrowth (Figs 8G, 9D), vs. without triangular outgrowth in O. clavulata (Fig. 1E) and O. menglun (Fig. 7D), and the sperm duct overlapped at the margin of bulb (white arrow in Fig. 9A) vs. not overlapped in O. clavulata (Fig. 1B) and O. menglun (Fig. 7A).

Description.

Male (holotype). Total length 0.96, carapace length 0.41, carapace width 0.39, abdomen length 0.48. Habitus as in Fig. 8A-C. Color in alcohol: carapace yellow, abdomen, legs and palp pale yellow. Carapace oval, with net-shaped pattern, pars cephalica strongly elevated in lateral view, with rounded posterolateral corners. Clypeus (Fig. 8F) margin unmodified, curved downwards in front view, rounded forward in lateral view. Sternum (Fig. 8G) longer than wide, pale yellow, with marginal band and median area of radiating lines, surface smooth. Mouthparts: chelicerae elongate, anterior face unmodified; labium elongate, spade-shaped, not fused to sternum, anterior margin not indented at middle; endites (Figs 8G, 9D) strongly sclerotized, with triangular outgrowth, outer margin with serrula. Abdomen ovoid, with ^-shaped pattern. Genitalia (Fig. 9A-C): tibia of palp strongly enlarged, length/width ratio = 1.67, cymbium small; bulb pear-shaped in lateral view, with ventral side strongly protruding proximally, about 0.91 times as wide as tibia; the sperm duct strongly curved with three loops; embolus short, with sub-apical, opaque crest.
