 Ortmann distinguishes three species, the original 0. orientalis, 

 Stimpson, 0. alphacirostris, Kingsley, in both of which the 

 wrist of the second peraeopod is three-jointed, and his own 

 0. occidentalis, which has a four-jointed wrist. Dr. de Man 

 adds 0. sibogae, which also has a quadriarticulate carpus, but 

 only four teeth on the dorsal carina.

Ortmann mentions that the denticles on the medio-dox'sal 

 carina of the carapace number from seven to nine. In our 

 specimens examined it varied from six to eight. The palp of 

 the first maxilla has a bilobed apex, with a seta on each lobe. 

 In the second maxilliped the third joint is much broader than 

 the fourth, and the broad seventh joint, which is not at all 

 finger-like, is remarkable for its size. As in the other species 

 the long stalks of the small eyes are a notable feature. Length 

 from apex of carapace to that of telson 15 mm.
