This species is extremely similar to Operclipygus dubius, differing mainly in the following characters: length: 1.62–1.65 mm, width: 1.25–1.28 mm; frontal stria fragmented to absent at middle; anterior submarginal pronotal stria interrupted by median pronotal gland opening, continuing beyond it nearly to elytral midpoint; prescutellar impression narrow, not longer than scutellum; fragments of lateral submarginal pronotal stria may be present in anterior corners; pronotal disk with small, faint depressions alongside anterior submarginal stria; prosternal striae convergent to front, meeting in subacute arch; fine ground punctation of pygidium slightly denser than in Operclipygus dubius. Male genitalia (Figs 31L–N) as for group description, with the apices of S8 vertically oriented, curved to ventral apex, bearing 4 or 5 long apical setae, with distinct submarginal sclerotization along apical margins; T9 with apices obliquely subquadrate; T10 not divided; S9 strongly desclerotized along midline, weakly emarginate at base, apical emargination deep, narrow; tegmen more or less parallel sided, abruptly narrowed to apex.
