Clypeus similar to O. aureola sp. nov.; ALE separated from edge of carapace by their diameter or more; setae present, needle-like. Eyes similar to O. aureola sp. nov. Sternum (Fig. 2E) longer than wide, with brown patches, without radial furrows between coxae, surface smooth; setae sparse, needle-like, evenly scattered, without hair tufts. Mouthparts: Chelicerae straight, anterior face unmodified; labium rectangular, not fused to sternum, anterior margin not indented at middle; endites (Fig. 2E) distally not excavated, with serrula. Abdomen ovoid, with gray net-like pattern; pedicel tube short, unmodified, scuto-pedicel region unmodified. Legs without color pattern; femur IV thickened, much larger than femora I–III.
