Ornebius panda He, 2019: 544–550 .

Holotype. China: Male, Guangxi, Baise, Jingxi , Wuling , 19th April 2019, He Zhuqing coll.

Materials examined. China: 2 males, Guangxi, Jingxi, Longbang , 2nd May 2019, Ma Libin and Zhang Tao coll. ( SNNU) .

Description. Male. Body form typical of the genus. Body flat with scales, pubescent on legs and cerci. Frontal rostrum swollen, little broader than antennal scape, maxillary palpus with distal three segments elongate and fifth segment somewhat widened. Pronotum longer than width with lateral margin broadening posteriorly; posterior margin convex, covering a portion of the base of mirror. Fore tibia internal tympanum minute, rounded; without external tympanum. Dorsal margin of hind tibia is serrate with two rows of denticles with about 24–26 teeth each. Cerci elongate. Male genitalia not visible externally. Genitalia: Male phallic complex with the medial valve curved to a spiral in basal part with its base forming an axis in the centre of the spiral ( Fig. 10C ). In ventral view, internal sclerite of medial valve with two elongated and straight narrow rods ( Fig. 10B ), gently curved dorsally at the base in lateral view ( Fig. 10C ). Ventral median lobe little shorter than epiphallus and surpass the apex of ejaculatory duct ( Figs 10D & E ).

Colouration. Antennae yellow, head and pronotum brown, legs brown with white at the base. Tegmen faint yellow with apical part and lateral field black. Four small black spots on each dorsum of abdominal tergite, cercus yellowish. Ovipositor yellowish.

Remarks. This colour pattern is similar to O. citrus , O. peniculatus , O. pullus and O. tuberculatus from Thailand and Kalimantan, but it is different from the former in male genitalia distinctly.
