Paratypes: 8 ♂, 5 ♀, same data as holotype; 9 ♂, 10 ♀, same data as holotype, but collected on 15 March 2013; 1 ♀, Guizhou Province, Chishui City, Wuzhufeng scenic area, 28 ° 23.448 ′N, 105 ° 58.690 ′E, 2 October 2012, Luyu Wang leg.
Etymology
Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin word ‘ mirus ’, meaning strange, and refers to the unique structure of the epigyne; adjective.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis. This new species is similar to O. longituba (Wang et al.2012: 41, figs 4 A–E, 5 A–I), but can be distinguished by: 1) large CO, widely separated, located centrally (relative close and located posteriorly in O. longituba); 2) epigastric furrow with a medial notch (lacking a notch in O. longituba); 3) DTA long, S-shaped, with relatively sharp apex (shorter, with a blunt apex in O. longituba); 4) tegulum inflated in the new species (uninflated in O. longituba). The new species is also similar to O. simianshan (Zhou et al.2013: 1, figs 2 A–E, 3 A–G), but can be distinguished by: 1) large CO, located centrally and widely separated (smaller, relatively posterior, and close to each other in O. simianshan); 2) BU hilt-like in the new species (oval in O. simianshan); 3) DTA longer in the new species (relatively short in O. simianshan).
