Abstract

A new species of the genus Otacilia Thorell, 1897 is described from northern Vietnam: O. fansipan spec. nov. It represents the second species of the genus recorded from that country. Special papillae are found on the surface of the spermathecae, their function is unknown. A distribution map is presented with all records of the genus, with a first attempt to explain its biogeography.
