Remarks. This species was originally described as Craspedosoma dahuricum from near the mouth of the Shilka River, Chitinskaya Oblast (at present Zabaikalsky Krai) (Gerstfeldt 1859) but later transferred to the genus Orientyla and synonymized with Orientyla mikhaljovae from the Ussuriysky Nature Reserve in Primorsky Krai and from the Khingan State Reserve in Amurskaya Oblast as a senior subjective synonym (Mikhaljova & Golovatch 2001).

The study of the gonopods of the males of this species from the collection of FSCB using a scanning electron microscope has revealed some additional structural details (Figs 28–31): colpocoxite apex is covered with small papillae and bears a groove along the perimeter; posterior angicoxal process and a half of the lateral sheath process (lp, Fig. 28) are covered with spinules; anterior gonopod telopodites (at, Fig. 30) and the edges of sheath groove (e, Fig. 30) protrude outward in some specimens.
