clypeus strongly concave below apical carina, the concavity less pronounced 
over disk of clypeus, muscle impressions distinct. Pronotum with posterior 
margin slightly concave. Forewing with inner apical cell completely, and 
narrow apical portion of second and third apical cells membranous, veins not 
distinct, with a network of veins on both clavus and corium, but not involving 
brachial cell and outer claval cell. Hindleg with length of first tarsomere ap- 
proximately equal to combined length of two more distal tarsomeres. Male 
with pygofer not as strongly produced as in O. bracteata, n. sp., with a narrow 
apical lobe extending posterodorsally, macrosetae as in bracteata, but occurring 
also near middle of disk, with a group of microsetae near ventral margin, 
pygofer without processes; plates not extending as far posteriorly as pygofer 
apex; style broadened and obliquely truncate apically; connective a transverse 
bar; aedeagus in lateral aspect with basal portion of shaft tapering, abruptly 
narrowed apically, with a dorsal process arising near base, extending apically 
almost as far as apex of shaft; with an unpaired median paraphysis occurring 
beneath base of shaft. Other male structures as in generic description. 
Female abdominal sternum VII abruptly narrowed near base, extending 
posteriorly as a broad truncate lobe; pygofer with macrosetae numerous on 
apical half and in a broad area parallel to posteroventral margin. 
Color tan, anterior and posterior margins of crown, a few variable markings 
on pronotum, a median incomplete line on scutellum in some specimens, base 
of forewing, the costal margin (often faintly) and an oblique anteapical area 
extending from costal margin into apical cells, dark red; face except genae, 
pleura, and most of venter and legs, brighter red, a median line at apex of 
clypellus (occasionally), genae (occasionally), some setae on posterior tibiae, 
and portions of all tarsi, black. 
Holotype and two additional males, Paso del Quindiu, Central Cordillera,
