Diagnosis. See under nominate subspecies.
Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan).
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.
