Remarks. All the material collected from Lijiang and Deqin, Yunnan, and published as O. pulchripes in Chu & Wang (1987, 1991), was misidentified, and is referred by us to O. loochooana. One female paratype of O. trianga Chu & Wang, 1987, from Doushui, Jiangxi, was found to be identical to O. loochooana timutia.
