Type material. Holotype: ♂ ( UBCZ; KYU-SAL507), MALAYSIA: Selangor, Ulu Gombak Field Station , 3.325°N, 101.753°E, 250 m elev., 16–19 May 2005, leg. W.P. Maddison, D. Li, I. Agnarsson, J. Zhang, WPM#05-026 GoogleMaps ; Paratypes: 4♀ ( UBCZ; KYU-SAL520), same data as holotype GoogleMaps .

Other material examined. 1♂ ( UBCZ; DNA Voucher: KYU100), same data as holotype GoogleMaps .

Etymology. The specific epithet is in honor of Klaus Meine, the frontman of the German band Scorpions; many classic rock songs he wrote accompanied the growth of the first author.

Diagnosis. Resembles O. timburtoni Yu, Maddison & Zhang , sp. nov. in the overall shape of RTA ( Fig. 285 View FIGURES 274–286 ), but it can be distinguished by the relatively flat front edge of tip of RTA in top view ( Fig. 288 View FIGURES 287–293 ). Females can be distinguished from O. timburtoni sp. nov. by the lighter and black and white coloration of legs III–IV ( Fig. 144 View FIGURES 142–144 ).

Description. Male (holotype). Habitus as shown in Fig. 145 View FIGURES 145–151 . Carapace length 1.98; abdomen length 1.67; measurements of eyes:AME 0.38, ALE 0.26, PME 0.08, PLE 0.22; measurements of legs: I 3.43 (1.04, 0.66, 0.81, 0.51, 0.41), II 2.77 (0.92, 0.52, 0.53, 0.46, 0.34), III 2.86 (0.98, 0.44, 0.54, 0.54, 0.36), IV 3.07 (1.01, 0.46, 0.64, 0.58, 0.38); leg formula 1432. Carapace dark, cephalon and dorsal abdomen covered by relatively dense pale setae; front edge of clypeus with one row of white setae; pale setae on legs III–IV relatively sparse than I–II. Leg I, femora I–IV and patella to tibia II dark, tibiae III–IV dark in distal half, distal metatarsi III–IV slightly dark, other parts of legs light-colored.

Palp ( Figs 147–149 View FIGURES 145–151 ): lobe-like protrusion of tegulum relatively long, tip relatively blunt; embolus slender, Sshaped in ventral view, basal part of embolus with many shallow grooves along extending direction of embolus; RTA bent basally, lobe on tip of RTA well defined and almost perpendicular to main part of RTA, half-round with serrulated outline in retrolateral view ( Fig. 288 View FIGURES 287–293 ).

Female. Habitus as shown in Fig. 146 View FIGURES 145–151 . Measurements of paratype: carapace length 2.10; abdomen length 2.30; measurements of eyes: AME 0.42, ALE 0.27, PME 0.08, PLE 0.23; measurements of legs: I 3.13 (1.01, 0.61, 0.70, 0.42, 0.39), II 3.05 (1.02, 0.61, 0.53, 0.48, 0.41), III 3.18 (1.08, 0.54, 0.55, 0.57, 0.44), IV 3.74 (1.20, 0.55, 0.82, 0.72, 0.45); leg formula 4312. Coloration like male but setae sparse and more yellow.

Epigynum ( Fig. 150 View FIGURES 145–151 ): atria small, far from each other with distance ca. 1.5 times as long as diameter of atrium. Vulva ( Fig. 151 View FIGURES 145–151 ): top of starting part of copulatory ducts lower than top rims of atria.

Distribution. Malaysia (Selangor).
