So, I`ve just checked the details: It has tarsal spurs, on some legs two. It also has the very long and thin coxopleural process as mentioned by Attems for O. astenus...
sure you have seen tarsal spurs, not claw spurs?
Attems is outdated, i'd rather use the new Lewis and his sketch shows short coxopleural processes for O. astenus.
Maybe then it's O. angusticeps?
(Still the headplate confuses me...really! Lewis would have mentioned the presence of basal plates, because it would be special in Otostigmus).
I am sure there are tarsal spurs. As you sent me the Lewis papers and I have more time at the weekend, I will do my best to clear this question and take some photos of the details!
BTW: this specimen had eggs but only 2 pedelings survived until now...
