( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 )

Ornebius tampines Tan & Robillard, 2012: 418 .

Type specimens examined. Holotype (male): Singapore, Pasir Ris Park, Sungei Tampines , along mangrove boardwalk, coll. M. K. Tan, 17 June 2011 (ZRC).

Paratypes: 3 males, same locality as holotype, coll. M. K. Tan, 17 June 2011, 15 September 2011 (all ZRC).

New material examined. Singapore, 1 female, same locality as holotype, coll. M. K. Tan, 20 October 2012 (all ZRC).

Description. Female. Habitus as shown in Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 A. Ninth abdominal tergite with apical margin straight. Supraanal plate setose, with tenth abdominal tergite and epiproct completely fused; furrowed in middle; with apex subtruncated ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 B). Paraprocts simple and short. Subgenital plate wider than long, with apical margin roundlyemarginated ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 C). Ovipositor of medium length; apical valves with margins smooth; ventral margin of dorsal valves with 2–3 bristles (n = 1) ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 D).

Measurements. See Table 4.

Discussion. Only males were previously known of this species (Tan & Robillard, 2012). New material allowed the description of the female. A re-examination of the type specimens revealed that in the original description the male phallic complex was imprecisely described. The medial valve, also referred to as internal sclerite of medial valve, is not bifurcate at apex. The ventral lobes are membranous. Instead, it is the internal sclerite of medial valve with base gently curved upwards. The lateral valves are weakly sclerotised, which was not previously mentioned.
