This species is similar to Odonturisca grigoriji Gorochov, 2008 by the shape of male cerci, to Odonturisca epiproctalis Gorochov, 2008 by the shape of male epiproct, but male 10 th tergite with narrower posteriomedian notch, epiproct narrow and elongate, subgenital plate with comparatively long styli, female subgenital plate rather short, posterior margin with wider and slightly concave in middle.

Etymology. This species is named in memory of the famous German Orthopterist H. H. Karny.
