Remarks. Among the congeners, our single male most resembles Odonturisca epiproctalis Gorochov, 2008 from Mount Trus Madi by the general habitus ( Figs 8A, 8B View FIGURE 8 ), the shapes of its fastigium ( Fig. 8C View FIGURE 8 ), abdominal appendages (including the tenth abdominal tergite having two lateral lobes and its posterior margin emarginated at the medial part, the epiproct simple and the subgenital plate narrowing at apical end with two stout syli inserted) ( Figs 8E–I View FIGURE 8 ) and genitalia ( Gorochov, 2008; Tan et al., 2024a); but also exhibits clear differences in the cercus longer and slenderer, its apical third sinuous and not curved dorsad and without strong setae along inner margin ( Figs 8E–I View FIGURE 8 ). Our specimen may represent an undescribed species; but we need more specimens, including the females, to confirm.
