Diagnosis. Males can be distinguished from the closely related O. wuliang sp. nov. by the relatively straight and slender RTA ( Fig. 242 View FIGURES 238–245 ), females can be distinguished from O. wuliang sp. nov. by the atria that are close to each other ( Fig. 244 View FIGURES 238–245 ), and the accessory glands that are invisible in dorsal view ( Fig. 245 View FIGURES 238–245 ).

Description. Male. See Wu & Yang (2008).

Female. Habitus as shown in Fig. 238 View FIGURES 238–245 . Measurements of paratype (KYU-SAL539): carapace length 2.38; abdomen length 2.83; measurements of eyes: AME 0.43, ALE 0.28, PME 0.05, PLE 0.22; measurements of legs: I 3.87 (1.22, 0.83, 0.75, 0.57, 0.50), II 3.48 (1.06, 0.75, 0.64, 0.57, 0.46), III 3.78 (1.26, 0.69, 0.68, 0.72, 0.43), IV 4.34 (1.30, 0.64, 1.00, 0.92, 0.48); leg formula 4132. Carapace dark, with sparse yellow setal band on axis, legs I–II slightly darker than III–IV.

Epigynum and vulva ( Figs 244–245 View FIGURES 238–245 ): atria small, relatively close to each other; spermathecae large and close to each other; copulatory ducts with starting part covering the gap between spermathecae in ventral view; tubular accessory glands invisible in ventral view.

Natural history. Specimens were collected from ground, or cracks on large rock.

Distribution. China ( Yunnan).

Remark. The tubular accessory glands, the folded inner tubes in spermathecae, the shape of embolic disc and the shape of lobe-like protrusion of tegulum all indicate that this species belongs to Orcevia . Therefore, we herein propose this new combination. Topotypes of Laufeia longapophysis Lei & Peng, 2012 syn. nov. show the same body form and genital features as Orcevia sica ( Wu & Yang, 2008) comb. nov., and therefore is synonymized with the latter.
