Remarks: The described features distinguish O. kucerai sp. n. from all other species of the genus. They are recounted in the key for the Iranian species below. O. kucerai sp. n. is similar to O. zagrosensis Kovařík, 2004. In the key below, we used the difference in the shape of pedipalp femur. Another difference is in granulation of metasomal carinae: ventral carinae of metasoma I consist of irregular rows of granules in O. kucerai sp. n. and a row of large granules in O. zagrosensis.
