Osella ded. 1983 (Scanning electron micrographs). Description. This species has already been redescribed by Mauriès (1978), Hoffman (2009), and Spelda (2015). However, here, we present habitus images of the species and document the species gonopod morphology, using both light micrography and scanning electron microscope imagery. Thus, we provide more accurate and detailed information on key taxonomic features (Figs 6 – 9). Table 1 summarizes the main distinguishing characteristics of the two species.
