Diagnosis.

The new species is similar to Orchestina flava Ono, 2005 in the yellow carapace and the strongly coiled sperm duct, but can be distinguished by the strongly enlarged palpal tibia (vs not enlarged; cf. Fig. 15 A, B View Figure 15 and Ono 2005: figs 8–10), the rectangular labium (vs rounded; cf. Fig. 15 C View Figure 15 and Ono 2005: fig. 3) and the obscure marking of endogyne (vs nearly triangular marking; cf. Fig. 14 H and Ono 2005 View Figure 14 : fig. 6).
