Diagnosis. Males of O. procurva have two stout apical claws on cymbium, instead of just one claw as in O. alboannulata , or two irregular rows of bristles dorsally as in Ovia macritchie sp. nov. Besides, O. procurva can be easily distinguished from O. macritchie by the hooked shape of terminal apophysis on male palp, and relatively larger size of hoods and lower height of atrium on female epigyne. Male bulbs of O. procurva and O. alboannulata were much close to each other, but in O. procurva the narrow tip of terminal apophysis extends over the tegular lobe.
