Wunderle(cWun, cAss). D e s c r i p t i o n: 4.5-5.5 mm. External characters as in O. micantoides( Figs 91-93, 100). 3: sternite VIII weakly transverse, its posterior margin broadly convex ( Fig. 101); median lobe of aedeagus very large, with angled ventral process (lateral view) and with two pairs of long flattened sclerotised structures in internal sac ( Figs 94-96); apical lobe of paramere as in Fig. 103. ♀: sternite VIII transverse, its posterior margin truncate, sometimes indistinctly concave in the middle ( Fig. 102); spermatheca of somewhat variable shape, with relatively large capsule and rather short duct ( Figs 97-99). E t y m o l o g y: The name (Lat., adj.) refers to the sword-like flatted structures in the internal sac of the aedeagus. C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Fromthehighlysimilar O. micantoides, O. gladiatoriais distinguished only by the morphology of the aedeagus: the somewhat larger and flattened long sclerotised structures and the shape of the flagellum-like ventral structure in the internal sac, the larger crista apicalis, and the more slender and less strongly angled ventral process. D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: Thecurrently known distribution includes southwestern Anatolia ( Muğla, Antalya) and Cyprus( Map 6). Thevast majority of typespecimens were sifted from the leaf litter of deciduous trees (oak, sycamore, laurel) at relatively low altitudes ( 335-970 m); some were found by turning stones in a pasture. One of the specimens collected in March is somewhat teneral.
