Note. This species was described based on a female holotype and has never been recorded again. It is related to O. marginatus , from which it differs mainly by the anterior margin of the head being distinctly reflexed (see KORMILEV 1971). The photographs of the holotype of O. feae (Figs 20–23) are presented here for the first time.
