( Figs. 3 View FIGURES 2 – 4. 2 , 9, 12, 17, 18 View FIGURES 5 – 22 , 27–28, 33 View FIGURES 23 – 33 )

Type material. Holotype. male, LAOS, NE Hua Phan Prov., Phu Phan, 20°12'N 104°01'E, 1700 m, 17. May–3. Jun 2007, leg. C. Holzschuh; paratypes: male, female, same locality data as holotype, male, LAOS, Hua Phan Prov., Phu Phan, Ban Saluei, 20.13N 103.59E, 1500 m, 10. May 2004, leg. F. Kantner.

Differential diagnosis. O. huaphanensis sp. nov. resembles O. habashanensis sp. nov. in general appearance and coloration. O. huaphanensis has larger eyes than O. habashanensis (male interocular distance 1.02 and 1.26 times eye diameter, respectively), further O. huaphanensis has light coloured apical processes of the scutellum ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ). These two species differ also in the shape of phallus, especially in the shape of the apex ( Figs. 25–28 View FIGURES 23 – 33 ).

Description. Adult. Body ~ 10 mm long, 3.9 – 4.6 times longer than width at humeri ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 2 – 4. 2 ); dark brown, head, antennae and legs brown, covered with short pubescence; elytra and pronotum ochreous, scutellum brown to light brown basally, with yellow apical processes. Head with relatively large eyes, their interocular distance 1.00– 1.04 times maximum eye diameter in males, 1.22 times larger in females. Male antennae with flabellate antennomeres 3–10 ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ), female antennae serrate. Pronotum trapezoidal, 1.3–1.4 times wider at base than long at midline in males ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ) and 1.3 times wider at base than long at midline in female; pronotal disc with seven inconspicuous areolae ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ), with obtuse and robust basal carinae, fronto-lateral carinae much weaker to missing anteriorly, postero-lateral carinae inconspicuous. Scutellum emarginate, with two prominent, slender processes ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ). Elytra 3.7–4.0 times longer than wide at humeri in males, 3.5 times longer than wide at humeri in females, slightly widened posteriorly with four primary and irregular, partly missing secondary costae ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ). Male genitalia club-shaped, widest in anterior part, with widely rounded apex, and two thorns apically ( Figs. 27– 28 View FIGURES 23 – 33 ). Female genitalia with slender coxites and short, s-shaped valvifers, coxites about 3 times longer than valvifers; vagina wide, membranous with partly sclerotized glandular ducts ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 23 – 33 ).

Measurements. BL 9.3–10.4 mm, EL 8.4–9.6 mm, WH 2.1–2.6 mm, PL 1.3–1.5 mm, PW 1.7–1.9 mm, Ediam 0.59–0.72 mm, Edist 0.59–0.72 mm.

Distribution. Laos, Hua Phan Province.

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the name of the Laos province Hua Phan.
