Material examined. Holotype. ♂, China, Shaanxi Province, Shiquan County, Raofeng Town , alt. 560m, 8- VIII-2022, coll. Sun, Xu. Paratypes. 5♂, same data as holotype .
Etymology. The species name comes from the combination of Latin words “calig-(boot)” and “cauda (tail)”, referring to the boot-like pygofer side.
Note. This species is very similar to Oblongitubus licinicaudatus sp. nov. in body color and shape, but O. caligicaudatus sp. nov. has the pygofer side boot-like, while O. licinicaudatus sp. nov. has the pygofer side subtriangular and curved dorsally.
