Comment: The original description of O. imminuta is based on three specimens from three localities in Andalucía ( ASSING 2008). The species is apparently widespread and not uncommon in southern Spain and in Morocco ( Map 4 ). For illustrations of external and the male sexual characters see ASSING (2008).
