In the other species of Osmylus, the fore wing has mottled marking, scattered irregularly around RP area, Cu area, and inner margin. Nevertheless, variation of marking pattern is present within the species of the O. hyalinatus group, eg O. decoratus sometimes with markings on fore wing RP area. In other species the number of dots varies among conspecific individuals. The fore wing subcostal veinlets of species in this group are basally connected by some short oblique crossveins, which are absent in other species of the genus. The process of the male tergum 9 of the species in this group are long (eg O. atomatus) or short triangular (eg O. decoratus), whereas the process of the male tergum 9 of the other species in the genus are different and variously shaped, being long subulate (eg O. bipapillatus), stoutly digitiform (eg O. pachycaudatus) or even absent (eg O. fuberosus).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A987D1FFD43A049E980DBF96E2FF74	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, O. atomatus differs from O. flaviantennatus sp. n. due to the dark brown or black antennae, whereas O. flaviantennatus sp. n. has yellow antennae. It can be distinguished from O. gaoligongensis sp. n. by two processes on female sternum 7, while in O. gaoligongensis sp. n. the processes on female sternum 7 are absent. The differences between O. atomatus and O. verticalis sp. n. mainly refer to the shape of male genitalia. In O. atomatus the process of tergum 9 is long and extended posterodorsally, with the tubercles of gonocoxites 9 closely positioned; whereas in O. verticalis sp. n. the tergum 9 is short and extended dorsad, with the tubercles of gonocoxites 9 widely spaced.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A987D1FFDB3A0E9FF10EAD907CF9EC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
