ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition in honour of Luis “Luispi” Piacen- tini, colleague and friend with whom we have shared many field trips and hours in the laboratory.  
 DIAGNOSIS: Males can easily be distinguished by the modified endites, with sclerotized curved projections (fig. 187D), and by the simple copulatory bulb (figs. 191A–C, 194D–F, 196B, D). Females resemble those of O. andianavarroi by the two long apodemes of the anterior receptaculum but can be distinguished by the less-sclerotized additional chambers of the anterior receptaculum (figs. 195C, H, 197E). In O. andianavarroi the female carapace is slightly more elevated than in this species.   
MALE (PBI_OON 14809): Total length 1.13. Habitus as in figure 187A, B. CEPHALOTHO- RAX: Carapace as in figure 188A–C. Clypeus as in figure 187C. Sternum as long as wide (figs. 187D). Labium rectangular. Endites anterome- dian tip with one strong, curved projection (fig. 187D). ABDOMEN: Round, in fresh specimens, abdomen with lateral bands of purple pigment. Setae as in figure 189F, G. Spinnerets: ALS with one major ampullate gland spigot and three piriform gland spigots seemingly without bases; PMS with one minor ampullate gland spigot; PLS with two aciniform gland spigots (fig. 189A–D); epiandrum without fusules (fig. 189E). LEGS: Tarsal organ, claws, trichobothria as in figure 190. GENITALIA: Cymbium yellow, bulb yellow, spherical; embolus long; sperm duct slightly coiled (figs. 191A–F, 192A–D, 194D–F, 196B, D, F).  
FEMALE (PBI_OON 14998): Total length 1.41. Habitus as in figure 187E, F. CEPHALOTHO- RAX (fig. 187A, C): Carapace texture as in figure 188F. Pedicel as in figure 188G. Sternum longer than wide (fig. 188H), yellowish white. Labium elongated hexagon (fig. 188I). Eyes as in figure 188B, D, E. ABDOMEN: Ovoid, dorsum soft portions pale orange. LEGS: Yellow. GENITA- LIA: External, internal pockets absent; anterior receptaculum with two long anterior apodemes (fig. 193A, B), three membranous chambers at base, lumen well developed; posterior receptaculum absent, posterior apodeme formed by entire plate (figs. 193, 195C, H, 197E).  
DISTRIBUTION: Known from Ciudad Autonónoma de Buenos Aires and the provinces of Buenos Aires and Corrientes, Argentina (fig. 198A, B, E, map 32).  
 NATURAL HISTORY: Practically unknown. In the type locality the specimens were found in abundance in dry bases of Cortadeira and other grasses and trees. In field trips a couple was collected in copula. It seems to be a species found in gallery forests that are present in the last course of Uruguay River and Rio de La Plata estuary, although some specimens were found in other wetlands in Corrientes province.
